Last Wednesday, the British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia hosted the 11th Annual Summer International Business Networking Reception. The World Affairs Council of Philadelphia worked with the team at BABC to co-host this fun summer gathering for the third year, and it was great to see so many partners and friends at the University City Science Center. I had the pleasure of giving brief remarks to the group about the impact of international connectivity and partnership in our region. As we all continue to prepare for 2026--a big year for Philly--our ability to work together with our region's bilateral Chambers of Commerce, our City and State partners, our Port and Airport, our immigrant communities, our universities, companies, and cultural institutions, is increasingly important! Highlighting the strength and vibrancy of Philadelphia along with this community is what makes my job so great! #WorldAffairs #WACPHL #ConnectingPhiladelphia #InternationalPhiladelphia PhilaPort (The Port of Philadelphia) Johnson Matthey Philadelphia Department of Commerce Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Chilean & American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Philadelphia FACC Philadelphia - French-American Chamber of Commerce - Philadelphia Chapter Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia Philadelphia's Irish American Business Chamber & Network (IABCN) GACC Philadelphia - German American Chamber of Commerce, Inc.
