World Trade Center Utah

Through a three-way partnership with World Trade Center Utah and Utah Valley University, the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce helps local businesses expand their reach into the international market.

Headquartered in downtown Salt Lake City, WTC Utah’s mission is to accelerate growth for Utah companies through its global network, programs and services. Its team uses its expertise to guide business owners through the daunting task of finding markets and customers in other countries, launching marketing and sales efforts, and participating in trade missions and global meetings.

The Utah Valley Chamber is a natural fit for matching businesses with WTC Utah and helping them take their first steps into the international business community.

In April, WTC Utah and Utah Valley University announced a new partnership that included opening a WTC Utah office on the UVU campus. This makes WTC Utah’s expertise even more accessible and convenient for Utah County businesses.

“The collaboration between WTC Utah and UVU positions Utah as the crossroads of the world,” said Aaron Starks, vice president of global business services for WTC Utah. “The opening of our new office enables even more Utah companies to have direct access to the expertise and services they need to compete and win.”

With an interest in assisting Utah companies as they increase their international sales, the Larry H. Miller Group, Kirton McConkie, Facebook, World Trade Center Utah and the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce are donating $50,000 in grant funding to help companies cover the cost of the global services. Based on a company’s current international experience, those who utilize these services will begin by developing a strategy, leveraging services such as website development and global logistics, or connect directly with partners abroad through match-making.
