Founded in New Orleans in 1968 to encourage the expansion of world trade, The World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) headquartered in New York, U.S.A. has grown to become a network of 238 Centers located in approximately 60 countries.The purpose of the WTCA - the reason for its existence - is to make international trade easier to conduct by concentrating traders and trade services into specific, dedicated centers. Underlying our purpose is the core value of our organization: the WTCA is a not-for-profit organization that stands outside of politics, across national boundaries and in service to those who develop and facilitate international trade. This is the reason why we can operate in any political environment regardless of differences in race, religion, culture or language.
The mission of the World Trade Centers Association is to encourage the development of World Trade Centers and to provide high quality services, products and programs for our global network of members.
