Note from World Trade Center



WTC hosted the August Networking Reception last evening here at our offices. The reception was very well attended with a number of connections made between new and existing member companies, Sister Cities committees and St. Louis Mosaic Project supporters. Thanks to all those who took the time to be in attendance. 

Look for our Sister Cities committees this weekend in the Global Corner at the International Institute's Festival of Nations. We hope to see you there!    


Recent months have witnessed a strong debate on international trade policy, not just in the U.S., but across much of the world.

Changes stemming from Brexit, "America First" and an increasingly complex Asia-Pacific landscape call into question the very concept of globalization itself.

Growing Global 2018 will address the challenges and opportunities this presents on an ever-changing global stage with a panel of experts, all sitting ambassadors, from the region's leading trading partners.

We invite you to join us on Friday, September 21, for the region's premier event for international business. For information on sponsorship opportunities, please click here.
