MDA to lead business on European mission

The Mississippi Development Authority plans to lead a state-business development delegation on a 5-day trip to Western Europe at the end of March 2014. The trip is to have stop-overs in France and the UK. MDA says the trip is designed to connect state businesses with expanded trade and business relationships with the European market. The Mississippi State Trade Export Promotion program, funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration, is helping to offset some of the costs. MDA did not identify any of the state companies.
