 The World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia and the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia are moving forward with a collaborative effort to develop a metro export growth plan for our region. In conjunction with Philadelphia’s participation in the Global Cities Initiative, the Greater Philadelphia Metro Export Plan Steering Committee, comprised of area business, nonprofit, and government leaders, met earlier this month to review preliminary results of an in-depth market assessment examining the region’s export performance and opportunities. The market assessment - which draws upon extensive analysis of regional data, a survey of area firms, and interviews conducted over the past three months - will be finalized and released later this summer, laying the groundwork for development of an action-oriented metro export plan in the fall .
“Whether in a formal round-table discussion or more relaxed setting such as our Summer Social, the China Club builds important relationships–and even friendships. It is one of the things that we do best–connecting our member companies so that they share the value of their market experience and learn from one another, often ending in partnered strategies,” said Linda Mysliwy Conlin, WTCGP President.

Excerpt from njbiz.com written by Andrew Sheldon: “The same product that was designed to dissolve grease could also help clean up the water in the shrimp farms. The product, a microbial ecosystem that detoxifies ponds and hatcheries, has since become the company’s flagship product, known as Epicin. The product works to eradicate the toxins from the ponds and increases the survival rate of the shrimp.” Press Release from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (www.uschamber.com): Wednesday, June 24, 2015 - 4:30pm  Photo by: Carlos I.
