The world came to Marseilles last week! 

From April 6 to 9, 2025, the World Trade Center Marseille-Provence hosted the ^55th edition of the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) Global Business Forum at its City Center. 300 participants from World Trade Centers in 56 countries and some one hundred companies.

The timing of the event couldn't have been more relevant when international trade is on everyone's screens and the WTCA aims to facilitate international trade and provide real estate solutions through this meeting and its services! Conclusion: Keep calm and Trade on*! (*Keep calm and keep trading!).

Our local WTC, World Trade Center Metz-Saarbrücken, played an active role in the event, which generated almost 600 business meetings and visits to emblematic economic and academic sites in Provence (ITER, Port of Marseille, CMA CGM Campus TANGRAM, Château La Coste, SCAD Lacoste...).

A member of the global network for 35 years, WTC Metz-Saarbrücken has been able to promote the economic destination of the Metz Eurometropole at the heart of the cross-border region and the Grand Est region, represent and connect local companies and identify opportunities for collaboration.

An event in the image of the World Trade Centers: open to the world, innovative, inspiring and forward-looking!
