Companies that do business overseas (whether importing or exporting) face many challenges as federal trade policies change regularly. Where can they turn for help and advice?

The World Trade Center-Kentucky (WTC-KY) is the answer, providing resources, advocacy, and strategies to navigate these changes and stay competitive. With informative training sessions, international trade resources, and networking events, participation in our organization is crucial for Kentucky companies seeking growth.

Did you know that, for the third consecutive year, Kentucky broke its global export record, exporting $50.6 billion in goods and services (a 5.65% increase over 2024)? While some of the Kentucky companies engaged in international trade are large and have trained staff to guide them, many small- to medium-sized enterprises need trade advisory support. Whether it is navigating the world market, understanding complex regulations and taxes, or handling shipping issues, the WTC-KY is here to help.

The World Trade Center-Kentucky Foundation supports the WTC-KY so it may remain the leading provider of trade education, trade advisory information, and trade missions across the state. Each year, the WTC-KY responds to trade service requests, offers on-site trade support, and organizes international trade education programs covering topics ranging from international sales contracts to market entry strategies. We help with both importing and exporting. In addition, our trade missions allow Kentucky businesses to explore a market through site visits, business matchmaking, and introductions to government officials. The WTC-KY Foundation helps to ensure that WTC-KY's programs and services reach individuals and companies throughout the state who are interested in growing trade in the Commonwealth.

Funding raised during Give for Good Louisville allows us to continue offering world-class programs that grow Kentucky's economic competitiveness. Make your donation today and be sure to check out our trade podcast, too!
