Dear Friends,

In our globally competitive economy, it is increasingly important for businesses to reduce costs, hire great workers, and remain innovative. Kansas recognises that the needs of business are continually evolving and we have worked to build a business environment that responds to those needs and supports growth. The Kansas workforce is educated and experienced, our infrastructure and utilities are world class, and our state is one of the most affordable places to do business.

Kansas is home to a workforce equipped with the skills and expertise demanded by companies. Our state has implemented a number of innovative training programmes to ensure workers have the advanced technical skills needed to succeed in the workplace. In addition, our universities and colleges enjoy strong industry partnerships that enhance their educational programmes and support world class research in areas such as manufacturing and bioscience.

Kansas tax policies and business regulations are designed to encourage economic growth and facilitate investment. For three consecutive years, Kansas has had more than 15,000 new business filings, record growth for our state. Our state’s export totals consistently exceed our regional average, further proof that businesses in Kansas are competing in markets around the world.

Businesses in Kansas benefit from a location at the centre of the United States – a location enhanced by one of the best transportation systems in the country allowing businesses to ship goods to clients around the world with ease.

An excellent workforce, pro-growth policies, low costs and outstanding infrastructure have helped Kansas build a leading business environment. My administration will continue to promote policies that support the efforts of businesses to innovate and create jobs, while investing and growing the economy. I encourage you to take a closer look at Kansas and the many ways our state can help your business thrive.

Best,

Sam Brownback

Governor
