The Austrian Embassy was pleased to welcome a high-level delegation from Upper Austria to Alabama and the partner state of Georgia last week, from March 16 through March 21.
The visit underlined the strong political, economic and cultural connections between two regions: Ambassador Schneebauer and the Delegation met with Governor Brian Kemp, Mayor Andre Dickens and State Senators Sonya Halpern and Larry Walker III, discussed opportunities for Austrian companies with relevant stakeholders in the area and discussed exchange programs with representatives of the Georgia State University. In addition, the delegation visited the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama and engaged in discussions on the vibrant aerospace sector region, since aerospace is a sector where Austrian companies are particularly strong. The delegation also visited Coca-Cola and met with Vice President of Global Public Policy, Jonathan Rief.
We look forward to further strengthen existing ties between the regions and to explore new ways of collaboration in the future!
