A WORLD CLASS COUNCIL FORUM
SPURRING REGIONAL EXPORT GROWTH
Arguably no single regional economic development strategy can yield more rapid growth for Greater Philadelphia than increasing exports from area firms. Public investments and regional assets have contributed to recent export gains for the region, but an opportunity exists to elevate this activity to another level and create thousands of new jobs.
Join the Economy League and the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia for a World Class Council forum on driving regional growth through exports. We'll hear from experts in other regions that are using coordinated metro strategies to significantly expand their export activity and learn about the launch of a similar effort in our own region.
