In partnership with the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia, World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia will announce the Greater Philadelphia Export Plan on Wednesday, April 13, 2016.

Despite more than 80 percent of global GDP growth projected to occur outside the U.S. between 2013 and 2018, only five percent of American companies currently export and, among those that do, 58 percent export to only one market. These numbers underscore the significant opportunity for Greater Philadelphia and other U.S. metros to grow by going global.

How can the Greater Philadelphia region generate more than $6 billion in new economic activity and 35,000 jobs? The Economy League and World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia will unveil an exciting new regional strategy to drive export-led growth. Top local, state, and national business and trade experts, as well as executives from area firms will share how they have grown by going global.
