GAIN ACCESS TO THE WORLD, THROUGH DELAWARE
Welcome to the second edition of International Delaware©, a collaboration between the World Trade Center® Delaware and Delaware Business Times.
This issue introduces Delaware as the Eastern Gateway to the United States, with its thriving and expanding water port, major interstate highways, passenger and cargo railroad lines, inland ports and distribution centers, the sea-level Chesapeake and Delaware (C & D) Canal, and airports in all three counties of the state.
Agriculture, located primarily in the middle and southern parts of the state, is Delaware’s leading industry. Broiler chickens are our most valuable agricultural product, but companies from all over the world come to Delaware to connect with innovations in agricultural technology as developed by Delaware’s businesses, academic and biotech research institutions, and industry organizations.
Equally important are the regulatory, financial, and legal advantages that make Delaware the “Corporate Capital of the World.” More than one million businesses have their legal home in Delaware, and for more than 200 years, Delaware’s Chancery Court has provided a robust and expert legal forum for businesses.
Our state’s elected officials are equally responsive to the needs of businesses and consumers. Delaware’s new voluntary Certification of Adoption of Transparency and Sustainability Standards is another innovation that proves Delaware means business.
Connecting it all is World Trade Center ® Delaware, the State’s premier international business resource. As one of 320 World Trade Centers Association members in more than 90 countries and 15,000+ employees, we have the resources to help companies of all sizes. Please be sure to contact us for all your international business needs. Our mission is to serve you.
