Three South Carolina cities were included in Expansion Management Magazine's Top Ten US Metro Areas for European Business Expansion, and it's easy to see why.

South Carolina offers one of the country's most progressive business environments and its most efficient container port; no wonder approximately 350 European-owned operations call South Carolina home. To manage and capitalize on opportunities originating across the Atlantic, South Carolina maintains a presence with its office in Munich. Between 2000 and 2003 alone, more than 400 European companies invested over $5 billion and created nearly 10,000 jobs in the Palmetto State.
