PRESIDENT'S NOTES

We know people

Since 1987, World Trade Center Delaware has been the state’s premier international business resource. What makes us unique is our reach across the globe. No other organization can claim such personal access to the world’s markets, decision-makers, and leaders. Personal access is key at a time when all of us are bombarded with emails, texts, video and phone calls and messaging. The question is, how do you reach potential buyers, sellers, research collaborators, or government officials who have the knowledge, experience, and authority to act on your behalf?

 

When you join World Trade Center® Delaware, you are joining the World Trade Centers® Association (WTCA) network of “people who know people.” In other words, our network can provide you direct access to foreign markets and partners, bypassing potential gatekeepers. The WTCA is a network of more than 320 highly connected, mutually supporting businesses and organizations in nearly 100 countries with over 15,000 WTC professionals who deliver integrated, reciprocal resources to solve your business needs. While trade policies may shift with the comings and goings of different administrations, the WTCA remains a reliable network that you can count on to provide a platform for growing economic opportunities. 

 

With a footprint that extends across every inhabitable continent, including developed and emerging markets, the WTCA creates opportunities for your company to enter markets well beyond your own backyard. Are you looking for new sources of solar panels to add to your offering? Take a look at this week’s request for representation of home and industrial solar panels from WTC Santiago. Do you want to enter the Indian retail market with your packaged foods and beverages, cosmetics, toiletries, cleaning supplies, or disinfectants? Our friends at WTC Pune are introducing a new distribution platform to over 10,000 outlets across India for sellers of packaged foods and beverages, cosmetics, toiletries, and cleaning supplies and disinfectants that offers services at every step of the way from sales to temperature-controlled warehousing and delivery, to the critical financial documentation and compliance paperwork. 

 

Our Mission is to help you expand your business through international trade, to increase revenues, improve profitability, and create more jobs.
