Missouri is a Booming Epicenter of Commerce

Centrally located in the Midwest, and in the center of North America, Missouri is a central hub for commerce and logistics, offering prime access to major markets and a strong network of distribution centers. Businesses can efficiently move goods anywhere they need via Missouri’s international airports, extensive river barge system, and access to all U.S. Class I railroads.

Additionally, Missouri allows you to reach more than half of the continental U.S. in less than a day’s drive, with most other states reachable in less than two. With more than 33,000 highway miles in Missouri, you’ll be able to get where you need to, when you need to. Not keen on driving? You can fly nonstop to more than 70 destinations across North America from our two international airports or one of our many regional airports. A good location can mean everything, whether you’re a small business or a large organization. Make sure you’re reaching your target market today; you won’t find a better potential business expansion location for you to call home than right here in Missouri.

What More Do You Need For Your Business?

The Midwest is more than just that region in the middle of the U.S. with all the corn (although there’s definitely corn). It is a prime location for business growth, blending rural and metropolitan strengths with a diverse economy.

Home to industry leaders and well-known global brands across multiple sectors, the state proudly supports both blue- and white-collar workforces, creating a dynamic and collaborative environment for success. Missouri’s private and public partners play an enormous role in strengthening the state’s business environment, working together to make it ideal location for new investment.
