On reading this headline, many of you may think that the WTCGP WorldLinks editorial staff has made an obvious spelling error. Those who don’t think so are most likely to have attended our seminar “Innovative International Food Marketing” on August 17, 2006 at the Campbell Soup Company. “Glocal” was the key concept introduced by Bobby Agarwal of the Hershey Company in his presentation. As a business manager in the international marketing department of such a huge multinational company as Hershey, Mr. Agarwal shared a successful strategy of how by “thinking globally” companies can “win locally” in diverse international markets.

Can you guess what country this is?

The World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia would like to invite its members, clients and partners to join us on two trade missions this fall: Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama (September 17-23) and Serbia & Montenegro, Romania, Hungary and Turkey (October 22 – November 2).  In each issue of WorldLinks, we will highlight some facts about these countries to illustrate why we believe these markets have high potential for Pennsylvania and New Jersey companies.

This country is located in the Mediterranean, has a population of approximately 70.4 million people, imported more than $116 billion dollars in goods last year, and will host the World Trade Centers General Assembly from October 28 - November 2, 2006.
