A chamber of commerce always plays a pivotal role in fostering bilateral trade opportunities. It becomes the heart of creating exciting trade opportunities between the local businesses and companies in other countries. Here’s how we make it happen: We start by connecting people. Through trade missions, business forums, and networking events, we bring together business leaders from different countries. These events are like matchmaking for businesses, helping them find potential partners and build lasting relationships. Staying informed is crucial. We keep our members updated with the latest market trends, trade regulations, and economic insights. Our reports, newsletters, and webinars provide valuable information to help businesses navigate international markets. We organize trade missions and delegations, giving our members the chance to explore new markets firsthand. These trips include meetings with potential partners, site visits, and participation in trade fairs, opening doors to new business opportunities. Business matchmaking is also a big part of what we do. We arrange B2B meetings to connect local businesses with international counterparts. These connections can lead to joint ventures, distributorships, and other partnerships. Promoting our local businesses on an international stage is another priority. We showcase their products and services at trade fairs, online platforms, and through various promotional campaigns. This boosts their visibility and attractiveness to foreign buyers and investors. By doing all these things, we help our members seize bilateral trade opportunities, driving economic growth and development for our businesses and community.

Bringing the World to Northeastern Pennsylvania - A Great Success The Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) Alliance’s annual Bringing the World to Northeastern Pennsylvania event was a great success. On Monday, March 11, 2024, businesses from Northeastern Pennsylvania met with thirteen of Pennsylvania's Authorized Trade Representatives from around the world at The Venue / Culinary Creations by Metz in Dupont, PA. Representatives from more than 20 regional businesses attended and met with Trade Representatives from Australia, Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, China, Germany, India, the Middle East Region, Mexico, Netherlands, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. The Trade Representatives are private in-market business consultants contracted by the state to help Pennsylvania businesses export free of charge. The event connected local businesses with Pennsylvania’s Export Network and the international business services available through the NEPA Alliance and the Commonwealth. During the event, participants gained market insight and discussed company-specific issues with the Trade Representatives. They also learned how they can use these free export services to grow their international sales. The NEPA Alliance provides a wide range of direct assistance to help businesses take full advantage of the global marketplace through the Pennsylvania Export Network. For businesses already involved in export and those just starting, the NEPA Alliance administers several export promotion programs in Northeastern Pennsylvania on behalf of the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development's Office of International Business Development.
