Today is Giving Tuesday.

This year’s Gala will benefit the Choir School of Delaware who will perform at the Gala and our internship program, offering paid internships to university students. |
|
Tis the season for celebrating the people who make Delaware the “small wonder”. On December 9th, we will gather for the first time in 2 years, to honor our Secretary of State, Jeffrey Bullock for his contributions to the state’s international business community. He leads a department that touches almost every facet of our lives, both business and personal. While most of us are familiar with Secretary’s role as the Chairman of the Diamond State Port Corporation, and membership in the Delaware Economic and Financial Advisory Council (DEFAC) and the Cash Management Policy Board, among the 24 Divisions are sectors as varied as the Divisions of Small Business, Corporations (we are the Incorporation Capital of the World), the Arts and Historical & Cultural Affairs, the Veterans Home, and Libraries. It is with great pleasure that the World Trade Center Delaware is honoring Secretary Bullock as our Champion of Trade.
Reflecting just how Secretary Bullock affects so many aspects of our lives, this year’s Gala will benefit the Choir School of Delaware, a program that for 138 years has provided an artistic, academic, and cultural home for young singers from across the community. These talented performers have delighted audiences from Wilmington to the White House and overseas. They will entertain us at our Gala. The Gala also will benefit the WTC Delaware Internship Program, allowing us to pay interns, thus expanding the opportunity for university students from Delaware to earn while they learn.
Make your reservations now to join us on December 9 th. For more information and to register, please click here!

International Delaware Magazine Released by World Trade Center Focuses on FinTech in the First State
The World Trade Center Delaware has released its fourth edition of International Delaware Magazine which focuses on Delaware's growing FinTech industry.
“Little did we know when we first discussed the theme for this issue just how timely this edition would be,” said World Trade Center Delaware President Carla Stone. “The use of IT and e-commerce exploded during the past eight months as people sought to limit contact with others in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. It is clear that financial technology services, or FinTech, is here to stay and will only grow in the future.”
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. “We thank Discover and all of our partners who have made this issue of International Delaware possible,” Stone said. “Tens of thousands of readers around the world will learn what we already know: FinTech is the future of commerce and Delaware is its home.”
