Our Mission

 

The WTCA serves as an “international ecosystem” of global connections and integrated trade services under one umbrella, dedicated to: 

 

• Encouraging the expansion of world trade 

• Promoting international business relationships

• Fostering mutual assistance and cooperation among members.

 

More than a building or an organization, a world trade center (WTC) brings together businesses and government agencies involved in international trade, provides essential trade services and stimulates the economy of the region it serves.

​

The mission of the World Trade Center Tampa Bay has evolved around three prominent service areas:

​

1.  Education: Bringing knowledge to the community through Lecture Series, Speaker Bureaus and Trade Missions.

2.  Communication: Sharing valuable international resources, trade information and updates, and facilitating communication among international groups.

3.  Collaboration: Connecting membership with global contacts to facilitate and amplify trade and international business.

​

These three prominent service areas position the Tampa Bay region as a key global business center.
