World Trade Week NYC Partner Benefits—Participation is Free!
Partners play a central role in strengthening the WTW NYC network and helping connect businesses to practical international trade and investment resources. Participation as a WTW NYC Partner is free.
Visibility: WTW NYC Partner logos and organization briefs may be featured through WTW NYC communications and other partner-facing materials. The 2026 framework also emphasizes a more visible support structure for New York City's SME ecosystem and stronger recognition of the organizations that contribute to it.
Network and Collaborate: WTW NYC Partners benefit from regular opportunities to meet key players in the New York metro area's trade and business community. Partners are encouraged to collaborate, share information, and develop practical resources that help businesses navigate international growth, exporting, investment, and partnership opportunities.
Discuss and Shape: Partner meetings provide a forum for discussing important issues and trends in global trade and the demands of local businesses. The meetings therefore create an environment where broad themes are addressed, ideas are shared, and Partner organizations can receive feedback from other Partners and WTW NYC Steering Committee members on proposed events or initiatives, emphasizing listening and alignment. Discussions on the next phase of WTW NYC are welcomed.
Event Promotion: WTW NYC Steering Committee is happy to promote on its website calendar any upcoming events hosted by our Partners.
Nominate WTW NYC Awardees: Partners can nominate companies and organizations that have excelled in supporting U.S. exports. More details on the performance categories and the nomination process forthcoming soon.
By becoming a WTW NYC Partner your organization commits to actively contributing to WTW NYC. The success of WTW NYC depends upon Partner participation.
Partner Meeting Attendance: Partners must attend at least one Partner meeting.
