Over 500 Leaders from Across More Than 50 Countries and Territories Attend 56th Annual World Trade Centers Association Global Business Forum in Philadelphia
NEW YORK, NY – May 12, 2026 – World Trade Centers Association® (WTCA®) — an international trade organization connecting more than 300 World Trade Center® (WTC®) locations across nearly 100 countries and territories — and World Trade Center Greater Philadelphia (WTCGP) successfully concluded the 56th annual WTCA Global Business Forum (GBF), held April 19-22, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The four-day event marked the Forum’s return to the United States after nearly a decade, convening over 500 attendees representing 116 WTC businesses across 53 countries and territories, including over 200 business delegates, both in person and virtually. Participants included leaders from business, government, academia and international organizations, all attending with the purpose of advancing global trade, investment and collaboration.
Attendees participated in panels, workshops, site visits and networking sessions, with B2B meetings facilitated through the B2Match platform connecting participants with potential partners, investors and distributors. The programming focused on driving practical business outcomes and cross-border connections.
Under the theme “Historic Foundations, Future Collaborations: Cultivating New Business Frontiers,” the Forum addressed practical avenues to build meaningful global partnership in the context of current global economic conditions. Programming featured keynote addresses from Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker; who highlighted Philadelphia’s economic momentum, global connectivity and growing reputation as a city open for international business and investment; Ambassador Xie Feng of the People’s Republic of China, who reinforced the role of trade and dialogue in supporting long-term economic growth and global cooperation; and Former U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Cohen who discussed the current state of global trade and the importance of connection; along with a discussion on how culture drives long-term economic strength with NBA Hall of Famer and entrepreneur Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Pennsylvania State Representative Jordan Harris, and WTCGP President and CEO Thomas Young. During the conversation, Dr. J reflected on how the discipline, resilience and pursuit of excellence found in sports can translate into business leadership, innovation and community impact. Additional sessions covered trade dynamics, investment trends and cross-sector collaboration.
Recent shifts in the global trade landscape, marked by policy changes and uneven market conditions, framed much of the discussion at this year’s Forum. Programming brought companies, investors and trade organizations into the same room to assess experiences, risks and deal opportunities. Conversations centered on practical solutions for access, timing and scalable execution. Across sessions, participants pointed to WTCA’s role as a consistent convening platform where commercial relationships are advanced even as conditions remain unpredictable.
“In today’s climate, meeting in person is essential for fostering authentic connections, and the annual WTCA Global Business Forum opens the conversation to shed light on the reality of the current trade environment — where uncertainty, shifting policies and economic pressures are reshaping how business gets done across borders,” said John E. Drew, Chair of the WTCA Board of Directors. “Through this Forum, the global WTCA network provides a trusted platform for leaders to exchange perspectives, build relationships and move forward with the clarity and confidence they need as they continue advancing their regional economies. This year, we reinforced that global connection and engagement is critical in driving reliable trade, investment and long-term economic growth even in challenging times.”
Philadelphia served as a strong backdrop for this year’s Forum, showcasing its economic strengths across food and agriculture, higher education, life sciences, manufacturing, and innovation and technology. Its strategic location along the Northeast Corridor and established global connections reinforced its vital role as a hub for international business and trade.
“It meant a lot to host the WTCA network here in Philadelphia, especially as the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary,” said Thomas Young, President and CEO of WTCGP. “There’s a strong sense of history here, but also real momentum. Throughout the Forum, we saw people making connections that go beyond introductions — the kind that lead to business, partnerships and long-term growth. That was happening in B2B meetings, in sessions and in conversations across the city, and it’s exactly what this network is built to support — bringing people together in ways that translate into real economic opportunity.”
Additionally, the WTCA Real Estate Summit returned for its second year, examining global capital flows, investment strategy and development trends, with a macro view on the state of commercial real estate and Philadelphia’s positioning as a competitive investment market. The Forum also marked the launch of the UNIDO-WTCA Blue Economy Global Call 2026, an international open innovation initiative seeking scalable solutions across sectors including blue renewable energy, sustainable food systems, green maritime transport, coastal tourism, ecosystem restoration and blue tech. The initiative introduced a growing area of focus for WTCA and underscored the increasing connection between environmental sustainability, economic opportunity and global business collaboration. Companies, startups and research institutions are invited to apply by June 19, 2026.
Building on the momentum of this year’s Forum, WTCA will continue to support its global network through ongoing programming and partnerships that strengthen international business ties and expand opportunities for members worldwide. The 57th annual WTCA GBF will take place April 4-7, 2027, hosted by World Trade Center Binh Duong New City (WTC BDNC) in Binh Duong New City, Vietnam. Next year’s Forum will underscore Vietnam’s continued rise as a hub for innovation, industry and international connectivity.

WTCA Participates in High-Level Panel on WTC Ecosystem and Free Zones as Catalysts for Global Trade and Investment
Hainan, China (October 14, 2025) — World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) participated in a high-profile panel discussion titled “WTC Ecosystem and Free Zones: Catalysts for Global Trade and Investment,” during the 11th annual World FZO World Congress hosted by the World Free Zones Organization (World FZO) from October 10-12, 2025 in Hainan, Mainland China.
The event convened key international stakeholders to explore how free zones drive economic growth, innovation, and cross-border collaboration. Founded in 2014 under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the World FZO has become a leading platform for knowledge-sharing and advocacy within the global free zone sector.
The discussion offered valuable insights into how World Trade Center (WTC) businesses and free zones can collaborate to become powerful engines of foreign direct investment (FDI) and global supply chain integration. Drawing from diverse case studies, the session examined how strategic partnerships between WTC businesses and free zones can amplify international visibility, streamline market access, and generate greater value for tenants and investors.
One of the session’s key highlights was the presentation of the “Free Zones Go Global” initiative — a strategic collaboration between WTCA and Araújo Ibarra International Business Consultants.
Mr. Scott Wang, WTCA Vice President, Asia Pacific, elaborated: “The 'Free Zones Go Global' program includes the validation and redesign of a free zone’s marketing plan, considering new opportunities in the changing global environment. This includes identifying strategic sectors and products, supported by more than 300 WTC businesses in nearly 100 countries/territories.”
Panelists emphasized how this evolving landscape positions free zones as launchpads for innovation, investment, and regional integration.
Ms. Xiaolan Zhu, Chief Representative of WTC Haikou, highlighted Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) as an example of WTC–Free Zone synergy: “By aligning WTC Haikou with Hainan FTP’s preferential policies, we created a one-stop service for those seeking to access China, especially through Hainan.”
Another central theme was the empowerment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Dr. Mingxing Li , Founding Chairman of WTC Haikou and WTCA Board Member, explained: “SMEs often lack resources to access global markets. With increasing trade barriers, more Chinese SMEs are seeking to internationalize. Through WTC–Free Zone partnerships, we’re helping them reach markets such as Southwest Asia, Mexico, and the Middle East.”
Mr. Ahmed Tibaoui, General Manager and CEO of WTC Algiers and WTCA Board Member, added that such partnerships “unlock new markets while creating integrated ecosystems of growth, trade, and innovation that benefit both tenants and host economies.”
Additionally, the discussion explored how sustainability, digital platforms, and innovation hubs can be incorporated into free zone frameworks — positioning them not only as trade facilitators, but also as forward-looking accelerators of the post-pandemic global economy. The panel was moderated by Mr. Andrés Ibarra, COO of Araújo Ibarra International Business Consultants.
A major milestone of the event was the official signing ceremony inaugurating the Free Zone Research Center, a joint initiative between the China Institute for Reform and Development (CIRD) and the World FZO. This collaboration underscores the vital role of free zones as indispensable catalysts for global trade — through which nearly 40% of the world’s commerce now flows.
