Latin American WTC Member Regional Mtg: São Paulo

SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL - The second annual Latin American WTC Member Regional Meeting was held from November 24-25, hosted this year by World Trade Center São Paulo and the World Trade Centers Association's Latin American Regional Office. 

More than 25 World Trade Centers from different Latin American countries attended this regional gathering, with delegates from Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay, and Mexico. Special guests from other WTCs were invited, including WTC Fort Lauderdale, USA and a representative of 12 Indian WTCs.

The meeting aimed to achieve greater unity and cooperation between the World Trade Centers of the Latin American region, as well as to share successful experiences. Many of the participating World Trade Centers invited business delegations to engage in business matchmaking sessions with potential customers in Brazil.

In the morning session, WTC São Paulo explained in detail their Business Club model with the aim of extending this model to other WTCs in the region in the near future. 

This year, the Latin America WTC Member Regional Meeting was held alongside with the LATAM FOR BUSINESS event, where government officials from different Latin American countries and business leaders discussed the future of regional trade. Presentations emphasized possible strategies to stimulate business development, cooperation and economic challenges for the next decade. 

The LATAM FOR BUSINESS forum brought together about 500 entrepreneurs from the region, attending both conferences and business meetings. Around 30 companies from the Latin American WTC Members' delegations participated in the event. It was the perfect business environment to establish qualified business contacts.
