Working visit in California - Day 1 and 2 in San Francisco

From 8 to 12 May, H.R.H. the Hereditary Grand Duke is chairing a working visit to California in the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Led by Franz Fayot, Minister of the Economy, the visit is following up on the mission conducted in New York and Boston last year, with the aim of strengthening the important economic relationship between Luxembourg and the United States. With a total trade volume of nearly EUR 23.85 billion in 2021, the United States is Luxembourg's second-largest trading partner after the European Union. In California, the aim of the Luxembourg delegation is to develop new innovative partnerships in space and technology areas.
