Who We Are

We empower globally minded leaders with ideas and connections to drive growth and global good.

The World Trade Center Institute (WTCI) is the largest global business network in Maryland and across the mid-Atlantic. Our members come from the region’s top institutions – public and private companies, non-profits, universities, and government agencies. As a result, they come to WTCI to learn, connect, and grow through our mix of events, fellowships, services, and exchanges.
