WHAT IS THE WTCA GLOBAL BUSINESS FORUM?
Where Global Connections
Become Business Opportunities.

The WTCA Global Business Forum (GBF) brings the global business community together in a different destination each year, creating opportunities to do business both within the host market and across a global network spanning nearly 100 countries. Attendees experience a key market firsthand, explore the trends, opportunities, and industries shaping its growth, and connect with World Trade Center businesses and the companies and partners they bring from around the world.

The GBF combines B2B matchmaking, networking, and thought-provoking programming focused on the forces shaping global trade, investment, real estate, and business — convening business leaders, investors, government officials, and companies looking to expand, invest, and build new partnerships.

In 2027, the WTCA Global Business Forum is coming to Vietnam, hosted in partnership with WTC Binh Duong New City, April 4–7.
Experience one of Asia’s most dynamic growth markets while building connections that reach around the world.
