World Trade Centers provides a helping hand to create resilient, interconnected supply chains

When a European buyer was interested in purchasing an American automobile, they needed to know if they could get it exported. That buyer turned to the World Trade Centers Delaware for help. The Delaware-based organization was able to confirm the automobile was a legit item, and that the seller was a trusted seller. And then the organization helped the buyer connect with a firm dedicated to exporting automobiles.

In today’s interconnected global supply chain, the ability to ensure trust is paramount. To do so at a time when nearshoring efforts are taking place across the globe, leading to companies seeking out new suppliers in new regions where they have little information, means trust must be developed quickly.

The global non-profit business association World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) is there to do just that. The Delaware branch is just one of hundreds of local WTCA organizations that are connected by a single mission—to improve global trade. The network of more than 300 highly connected, mutually supporting businesses and organizations in 91 countries uses a portfolio of events, programming and resources that it offers members to help local economies thrive by encouraging and facilitating trade and investment across the globe.
