Pillar Initiative
World Trade Center Long Beach
The Partnership continues to support the growth and prominence of the World Trade Center Long Beach as it seeks to further stimulate trade and investment opportunities.
The World Trade Center Long Beach (WTCLB) plays a pivotal role in driving regional trade and investment by expanding international market access for Long Beach companies, attracting foreign investment into high-growth industries, and establishing crucial connections to global markets. Under the guidance of the Long Beach Economic Partnership (LBEP), WTCLB is poised to become the strongest and most reliable local trade-promotion entity, engaging strategic partners locally and abroad to create jobs, attract businesses and investments, improve cargo efficiency, and drive economic prosperity. With unrivaled access to the City of Long Beach, the Office of Economic Development, the Board of Harbor Commissioners, LBEP’s board, and industry experts and leaders, WTCLB harnesses the power of ongoing capital improvement projects and world-class events, such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, to foster mutually beneficial cooperation. By elevating local companies and executives while delivering best-in-class services and solutions to regional and international clients and partners, WTCLB solidifies its position as a catalyst for economic growth and success in Long Beach.
