Taking Advantage of the WTCA Global Network The World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) was established in 1970 to facilitate international trade by bringing together exporters, importers and service providers. Since receiving its license from the WTCA in 2002, the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia (WTCGP) has quickly distinguished itself as one of the association’s most active members. In several instances over the past year alone, the WTCGP has cooperated closely with World Trade Centers in Latin America, Europe and Asia. This global reciprocity has enabled the WTCPG to provide its members and clients with the highest level of trade services and direct access to a powerful network of international trading partners and resources.

Quality of infrastructure is a key factor of a country’s trade capability with port infrastructure specifically having one of the largest impacts on international trade. Thus, the WTCGP CEOs’ China Operations Club June roundtable meeting focused on potential business opportunities resulting from port expansion projects both here in Philadelphia and in China.

In addition to the WTC Day Dinner on June 7, the WTCGP organized one-on-one meetings for two Pennsylvania Authorized Trade Representatives (PA ATRs) on June 4 and June 8. Sixteen Pennsylvania companies met with Steven Zou, PA ATR from China, Beijing, and Efren Flores, PA ATR from Mexico. The meetings were held at the WTCGP Conference Center with companies from many diverse industry sectors, including IT, electronics, recreation, chemical, publishing, agriculture, health, and food processing. The meetings were very productive with both PA Reps providing detailed advice and counseling to the companies. |
