Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Mrs. Columba Bush visited Munich leading a Team Florida delegation on a business development and trade mission. Organized by Enterprise Florida, Inc., the mission promotes Florida’s life sciences, information technology and other high-tech sectors in one of Europe’s most critical markets. "As a leading European economy and Florida’s third-largest trade partner, Germany is a prime market for many of the Sunshine State’s high-tech products and services," said Governor Bush. In Munich he spoke of the "tremendous potential" for cooperative partnerships between Florida and Bavarian business.
