The International Presense in the Upstate

The Upstate is home to the nation's largest concentration of international business investment. Dynamic Realty learned just how global our region is during our weekly Community Connection event May 14. Wendy Anthony, executive director of theInternational Center of the Upstate, explained how her group helps connect the thousands of foreign nationals that live and work to our community. The center, which was established in 1998, offers relocation assistance to newcomers affiliated with companies such as Michelin North America. The nonprofit organization offers language classes and hosts events that provide cultural exploration and networking opportunities. "We help bring international business to the Upstate, which is important for our economy," Anthony said.
