Description of Texas-EU Summit<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

The 2014\u00a0Texas-EU Summit <\/em>will provide Texas businesses, entrepeneurs, policymakers and economic development professionals with an overview of trade and expansion business opportunities in Europe as well as information and connections to make the most of those opportunities.<\/p>\n

Texas is the largest exporting state to the EU. The summit will build on that footprint, focusing on promoting and building the international trade capacity of Texas businesses and economic development organizations while creating greater awareness regarding the benefits of exporting.<\/p>\n

Texas-European Union quick facts:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Total Texas export to Europe in 2013 exceeded $37.4 billion, an increase of 41% since 2010.<\/li>\n
  • In 2013,\u00a0 the Top Five Texas exports to Europe by sector were \u00a0petroleum and coal products \u2013 31.7%, chemicals \u2013 20.2%, computers and electronics \u2013 13.0%, machinery \u2013 10.4%, and transportation equipment 7.2%<\/li>\n
  • The Netherlands, UK, and France are the leading FDI sources in Texas.<\/li>\n
  • If the TTIP, a proposed US-EU trade agreement, comes into effect, Texas is placed to be a major beneficiary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The\u00a02014 Texas-EU Business Summit<\/em>\u00a0sessions will be led by business leaders, trade and investment officials from EU countries, trade policy experts and political officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
