"What I have found at the 2023 WTCA GBF is that people are people – and they will just come and make conversation with you. You do not see that a lot across the world and this is why WTCA is so effective.” 

— Hon. Edna Branch Jackson, Georgia State Representative and former Mayor of Savannah (2023 attendee)

“I am struck by the power of collaboration in driving sustainable growth and prosperity...engaging with a diverse range of businesses [at the GBF] and bringing a delegation for B2B interactions is incredibly enticing. It is an opportunity to further expand my network and explore potential synergies on a global scale."

— Wuraola Onigbogi, Head Trade Services Department, WTC Abuja (2023 and 2024 attendee)

“The 2024 WTCA GBF lived up to my organization’s expectations in discovering opportunities within the South Indian market with a delegation of French companies. On behalf of WTC Rennes Bretagne’s member companies, I was able to bring back some knowledge, key contacts and opportunities to enter the South Indian market.” 

— Nicholas Beaty, Manager, WTC Rennes Bretagne (2024 attendee)

"We decided to participate in the 2024 WTCA GBF to strengthen our relationship with the global WTCA network, promote Brazil internationally and seek new business opportunities. It is always very important for us to be present at these WTCA events, fostering new connections and strengthening existing ones. This is essential for the development of international business.” 

— Hiago Tavares, International Business Manager, WTC Brasília/ Curitiba/Joinville/Porto Alegre/Sinop (2023 and 2024 attendee)

“The WTCA GBF is one of the big platforms where key leaders from around the world can network, collaborate and grow their business on a global scale — it is a fantastic opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and learn about the latest trends and innovations in the business world.” 

— Niraj Khinvasara, Executive Director & CIO, WTC Pune (2023 and 2024 attendee)

"I knew through opportunities like this the GBF in Accra, that it would increase the profile of my company not only nationally, but internationally. I was able to leverage the connections I made to make my first sale, and it was a prelude to a bigger partnership in another country. The WTCA is phenomenal and helps small businesses take a global look at their capacity – I had made additional connections with delegates that I would not have had exposure to without the WTCA."

—  Mohamed Cisse, CEO Tungsten Global Consulting, Inc. (member WTC Delaware, 2023 attendee)
