"The WTCGP China Club event... has opened new channels filled with vast opportunities for our members to enter the Chinese market. Our discussions were candid, and the insights shared by our visitors were truly refreshing."

Jeff Ji
CEO, U-Combination Technology

"Becoming a member of the World Trade Center Philadelphia was one of the best things I’ve done for my business. Since we decided to pursue international markets, the team at WTCGP has provided us with invaluable connections, resources, and strategies to pursue North America and Southeast Asia effectively."

Melinda Emerson
CEO, SmallBizLady Enterprises

"We thank the WTCGP for connecting us with our global supply partners and it was our introduction to White and Williams law firm that has helped us with critical legal advice we need to continue our work internationally"

Barry Fisher
President, Van Horn, Metz and Co., Inc.

“The World Trade Center has been a real boon to us to help us get over those obstacles in foreign markets where we really need people that are employees rather than manufacturer’s representatives. Everybody that we’ve met through the World Trade Center contacts was a potential customer for us."
