OUR PREMIER MEMBERS
Welcome to the 5th edition of International Delaware® the yearly magazine of World Trade Center Delaware
This year’s magazine focuses on Delaware’s science and technology sector, the “most international of all professions” is as true as today when President John F. Kennedy said this almost 50 years ago. Scientists and engineers come from all over the world to develop and deliver products and services used on earth, the moon, and beyond. The diversity of opportunity and talent create a fertile ground for companies seeking to create new products and services for the world’s markets.
Delaware companies, academic institutions and non-government organizations have worked tirelessly to ameliorate the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, other diseases and the effects of climate change. Many smaller companies have been at the forefront of developing solutions to these, our most critical challenges. One of COVID’s greatest unintended consequences was the chaos in supply chains caused by port closures and labor shortages in factories, ships and trucks, just when increased international e-Commerce required additional containers, port storage space and handling facilities. Here, too, Delaware has met the test.
Automation, information, communications, gene editing, optical, and other evolving technologies create the need for more highly skilled technologists. Innovative local programs ranging from coding to CRISPR are making this groundbreaking technology accessible around the world.
We wish to thank all the people who contributed to this edition of International Delaware -our sponsor Discover Bank, publishing partner Delaware Business Times, the World Trade Center Delaware Board of Directors, and all the companies whose support for this edition makes it possible for the world to understand why America’s Innovation Corridor is located in Delaware.

2020 Edition
Introducing the 4th edition of International Delaware® The World Trade Center Delaware has released its fourth edition of International Delaware Magazine which focuses on Delaware's growing FinTech industry. The foundation for FinTech in Delaware was laid in 1981, when then-Gov. Pierre S. du Pont IV signed the Financial Center Development Act, legislation designed to increase employment in the banking and financial services sector by attracting out-of-state institutions to establish subsidiaries in Delaware. Today, Delaware, despite its tiny population, is one of the world's great financial centers. Over 75% of all FinTech investment in the Philadelphia region is found in Delaware and it has the highest concentration of financial services employment in the entire country according to a study by Delaware Prosperity Partnership. The study, "Delaware in a FinTech Future," reported that Delaware ranks No. 1 per capita for the number of FinTech patents issued over the past ten years in the U.S. and No. 5 overall. Discover Bank, this issue's presenting sponsor, is making a significant contribution to Delaware's FinTech future. In partnership with the University of Delaware and Delaware Technology Park, Discover is building a new 100,000-square-foot center for FinTech innovation on the university's Science Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus that will combine the prowess of academia, government, and industry to support and grow FinTech's future in Delaware. |
2019 Edition
Introducing the 3rd edition of International Delaware® This year, we are focusing on agriculture, Delaware’s largest industry. Agriculture, and the technology necessary to produce, process, transport, preserve, and market food, form the backbone of international trade for countries around the globe. Delaware is a leader in both agricultural production and the technology to deliver food quickly and safely to consumers. Our expertise in poultry production and processing is world renowned. Sussex County is the number one poultry producer in the entire United States. We also are the leading lima beans producer and rank in the top 10 for watermelon production. The Port of Wilmington has more dockside cold storage than any other port in the entire United States. Each year, delegations come from all over the world to learn about agriscience and precision agriculture from our companies, universities, and research institutions to help them improve seed production, cold chain, water and soil protection, aquaculture, and disease prevention and control, among many needs. International companies locate in Delaware to take advantage of our innovation nurturing environment. Please enjoy reading all of the articles.
