Dear partners in Delaware and around the world,

​

Trade is the oldest conversation between nations, and Delaware has always been part of it. Today, that conversation runs through our state at a scale the world is only beginning to recognize. Delaware is where the majority of the Fortune 500 choose to incorporate, where more than two million legal entities are governed by the most trusted business court in the world, where a statewide Foreign Trade Zone and a deepwater port move goods to every continent, and where the trust and tax framework attracts capital from every corner of the globe. This is not a collection of advantages. It is infrastructure for global commerce, and it belongs to every company and every partner willing to put it to work.

​

World Trade Center Delaware is the International Trade Gateway, connecting you and your business to more than 300 World Trade Center locations across nearly 100 countries and territories. We provide access to global capital, global resources, and global research, with cutting edge data and a growth strategy built for you and your business. When a small or mid-sized company is ready to export or import, we make the introductions, connect companies with financing resources, and deliver the intelligence that turns ambition into signed contracts. When a government, university, or company anywhere in the world seeks a partner in the United States, we answer, because Delaware is built for exactly that conversation.

​

To our global partners, I extend a direct invitation. Whether you lead a trade ministry, a chamber, a port, a university, or a company seeking your first American foothold, Delaware is your gateway, and our team will treat your success as our own. Trade grows economies, strengthens communities, and binds nations together in shared prosperity. That is the work we do every day, and we do it with rigor, with data, and with relationships that span the globe.

The world trades. Delaware leads. I invite you to lead with us.

​

With warm regards,

Mary S. Swenson, PhD

President, World Trade Center Delaware
