​The World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) is the umbrella organization for a global world trade center network that promotes prosperity through trade and investment. The WTCGP is proud to be part of this powerful community with over 320 world trade centers in nearly a hundred countries, representing over 750,000 business members worldwide. We provide international trade programs and services that support the association’s overall mission and brand as the “go to” organization for international business.

A World Trade Center is a recognizable symbol of locally-focused economic strength in world commerce. Anchored by a unique combination of tenants and visitors, a world trade center acts as a bustling hub of export activity. Membership requirements and costs vary according to each world trade center, but many offer reciprocal services and benefits to WTCGP members.
Reciprocal services may include:
  • Introductions to business members of world trade centers in select markets of interest;
  • Access to state of the art facilities including conference and meeting space;
  • Access to world trade center clubs that promote business networking by providing comfortable lounge and dining services for members and their guests;
  • The arrangement of in-country appointments and logistical services;
  • Discounts on translation, hotels, restaurants, and telecommunication services; and
  • Opportunities to attend world trade center educational and networking events worldwide.
To take advantage of these services, contact the WTCGP so that we may facilitate an introduction to the world trade center in your market of interest. Visit The World Trade Centers Association to see a complete list of world trade centers.

2019 Trade and Investment Report

​The world economy is becoming more volatile and growing at a slower pace. These changes have forced businesses to make risky, complex decisions which could add costs to their operations, make them less competitive, or even render them obsolete. Yet new opportunities are emerging for those able to navigate the shifting tides. The 2019 Trade and Investment Report, produced by FP Analytics in collaboration with the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA), illuminates the sources of this uncertainty, the distinctive traits that make cities resilient, and strategies for adapting to the new normal. This study is the result of original city-level data analysis, surveys, and interviews with business leaders from around the world, using the WTCA’s network of more than 325 cities, representing more than 35 percent of global gross domestic product and 1.24 billion people.
