WTC Review | Philadelphia 2016 Issue No. 4

It's been a great year!
A Message From The President

​We'll be fifteen years old in 2017! For those of you who have been with us from the beginning, you know the milestones we've reached and the opportunities that exist for us as a World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia.
​This year we are particularly proud of the success our companies in Pennsylvania and New Jersey have achieved. With the guiding hand of our trade counselors, these exporters, many of them small and medium‐sized businesses, now have customers around the world ‐ registering over $174M in increased export sales.
​

Their success is our success and it's at the heart of what we do as a member‐based, 501(c)3 non‐profit organization.

This year we partnered with the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia and area business and civic leaders, as part of a national Brookings/JP Morgan Chase "Global Cities Initiative" to launch a dynamic export strategy to drive economic growth and job creation for the Greater Philadelphia Region. The resulting "Export Plan" for Philadelphia underscored that there are many more businesses in the Greater Philadelphia region who can and should be exporting ‐ and need the services of the WTCGP.

As part of our commitment to the international business community to provide timely and relevant information on the global economy and celebrate our global leaders, this year's key signature events and international meetings included:
  • Annual Global Business Conference headlined by former Ambassador to China and to Singapore Governor Jon Huntsman
  • Business Roundtable with US diplomats from the ASEAN region
  • Meeting with visiting delegation from Tianjin China through our WTC network
  • Our only fundraising event ‐ World Trade Centers Awards and Celebration where we honored Jerry Sweeney, President, CEO, and Trustee, Brandywine Realty Trust and member companies of the year, Bradford White (PA) and Sunhillo (NJ)

Every day the WTCGP opens its doors to help "grow trade" in the Greater Philadelphia region thanks to our member companies, and sustaining and leadership partners. As we continue to grow trade, we need to ensure that we can continue to expand this important work.
If you believe in our mission, please consider making a tax‐deductible contribution. Click here and give what you can.

If you're considering becoming a member of the WTCGP, we've added an additional benefit, exclusively for the WTCGP ‐ discounted membership at the Pyramid Club. We will be glad to provide further details.

We wish you happy holidays! As we navigate a global economy in transition, we look forward to working with you in 2017!

Thank you again for supporting the WTCGP.
