With more than 100 international companies present in the Upstate and a large number of them with German connection, South Carolina's industrial corridor offers almost unlimited opportunities for business contacts, jobs, and investment.
While BMW Manufacturing Corp. is the most visible, a number of supplier and independent companies are worth exploring.
Due to the strong presents of German companies in South Carolina and some excellent school (K-12 and college) programs, the Upstate offers a large variety of institutions with offerings in German (including language, literature, and culture).
