The New York tri-state region’s trade and transportation community celebrates World Trade Week throughout the month of May, offering a full agenda of educational seminars, global business networking events and the International Trade Awards Breakfast that recognizes the exemplary achievements by practitioners in the field.

We are working together to:
> Recognize the contribution of international trade to economic growth and job creation in the New York metropolitan region
> Highlight the link between international trade and transportation and the region’s economic well‐being
> Celebrate companies and organizations succeeding in the global marketplace and highlight their contribution to the region’s economy
> Share knowledge, resources and ideas to facilitate small business success internationally
> Provide scholarships to undergraduate students of international business

World Trade Week NYC is an active network of more than 70 organizations in the New York metro region working together to underscore the importance of international trade, logistics and port operations to the region’s economy and to use their collective expertise to help the region’s businesses grow through international trade. World Trade Week NYC is hosted by the New York District Export Council.
