COSTEP Brings South Texas Manufacturing Opportunities to Munich

MUNICH, Germany — Adam Gonzalez, CEO of COSTEP, Council for South Texas Economic Progress, is promoting the South Texas region to international businesses during a visit to Munich, highlighting opportunities in manufacturing, technology and cross-border trade.

The visit coincides with electronica and SEMICON Europa, two co-located events focused on electronics and the semiconductor industry.

Introducing South Texas

COSTEP, led by CEO Adam Gonzalez, is in Munich to introduce international businesses to the opportunities available across South Texas and build relationships that could support future investment in the region. As part of the visit, COSTEP has previously scheduled meetings with 18 companies interested in expanding into the United States, creating an opportunity to present South Texas as a location for manufacturing, industry and business growth.

The presentation shared information about the South Texas region, including communities in the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo and northern Tamaulipas. Together, these areas form a cross-border economy where businesses can connect manufacturing, logistics and commercial activity on both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border.

Connecting with Global Industry

Those conversations offer an opportunity to introduce international businesses to South Texas and explore how the region could support their future growth.

For companies considering the U.S. market, South Texas offers a location connected to Mexico’s industrial base and North American supply chains. Its manufacturing and logistics capabilities, combined with its cross-border relationships, make the region a place for international businesses to consider as they explore expansion.

COSTEP’s presence in Munich puts South Texas in front of a global industrial audience and opens the door to relationships that could support future investment, innovation and manufacturing opportunities across the region.
