PHILADELPHIA: 

HOME TO PIONEERS, PROGRESS, AND POSSIBILITIES

Why Philadelphia?

Philadelphia is a city built on innovation, independence, and global exchange making—it the perfect host for the 2026 WTCA Global Business Forum.

As the sixth-largest city in the United States, Philadelphia offers a dynamic business environment with thriving industries in healthcare, education, life sciences, manufacturing, technology, and finances. Its strategic location between New York City and Washington, D.C. makes it a key connector in the U.S. and global economy.

The 2026 WTCA Global Business attracts business and investment opportunities in Agriculture, Energy, Life Sciences, Manufacturing and Robotics and Technology.

Home to the first World Heritage City in the U.S., Philadelphia blends historic significance with forward-looking energy. The city’s diverse population, world-class universities, and growing international investment make it a natural gathering place for global leaders and innovators.

From its walkable downtown and major convention facilities to its vibrant cultural scene and global culinary offerings, Philadelphia offers a rich experience for both business and leisure.

Join us in a city where history meets opportunity—and where business meets the world.
