On September 8 – 9, 2025, the BABCPHL proudly partnered with the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia for a series of meetings “Bringing the World to Pennsylvania.” This annual program convened business leaders, international representatives, economic development partners, and exporters from across the region to spark new connections and grow Pennsylvania’s global footprint. Participants met with global trade experts and decision-makers, connected with international delegations, and explored tools to take their business to the next level.

BABCPHL members and friends joined the foreign State of Pennsylvania representatives who were in town from all over the globe to the Pennovation Center for a dynamic panel discussion about unlocking international trade opportunities with regional public and private sector leaders. Experienced exporters shared practical insights and success stories, and attendees had an opportunity to build meaningful international connections.

This annual event always offers tangible value, strategic dialogue, and powerful business development opportunities. We are grateful to have been a supporting sponsor. Congratulations and many thanks to our regional partners, Thomas Young, President & CEO, The World Trade Center Greater Philadelphia; David Briel, Deputy Secretary, BusinessPA; Karen Fegely, Acting Commerce Director, and their teams!
