World Trade Centers Association Reveals Global Winners of 3rd Biennial Champions Awards
The Champions Awards recognize WTCA members across a global network of highly connected, mutually supporting businesses and organizations who exemplify the association's core values and mission. Each category highlights the efforts of WTCA members in driving positive impact both locally and globally. This year's edition received a total of 45 nominations, recognizing 23 Members across the global network. A judging panel consisting of previous Champions Awards winners, and chairs of WTCA's Member Advisory Councils and Regional Advisory Councils selected the winners of the 10 categories.
"The Biennial Champions Awards not only recognizes our WTCA Members' achievements, but also serves as a catalyst for continued innovation and collaboration within the network. In this year's edition, we introduced several new categories to showcase our global members and the work they do on a daily basis to drive real change that impacts our association's global footprint. As a result, we witnessed a great number of nominations from our members – nearly tripling the number of nominees from the previous edition," said John E. Drew , Chair, WTCA Board of Directors.
"WTC Bengaluru is honored to be named both WTCA's 'Global Member of the Year' as well as 'Regional Member of the Year ( Asia Pacific ).' Receiving these distinguished awards recognizes our international efforts and our region's position as a rising investment destination around the world. The recognition was a very welcome surprise as we concluded hosting this year's GBF with our colleagues and friends around the WTCA network, said Vineet Verma , Managing Director of WTC Bengaluru, Chennai and Kochi; and newly-appointed WTCA Board Member "With this great honor, we are committed to bolster international trade and B2B opportunities that positively impacts Karnataka and beyond, with WTCA's mission at the forefront of our work."
Winners were announced and awarded on March 6 during the WTCA's GBF hosted by WTC Bengaluru in Bengaluru, India . Over 245 participants from nearly 110 WTC locations across 36 countries/territories representing 52 different industry sectors came together for the association's premier annual event.
"On behalf of the WTCA, I'm delighted to extend our congratulations to this year's winners and nominees — each of these WTC businesses truly demonstrate how our global network has been driven by the imperative to 'connect locally and prosper globally,'" said Drew. "This year's winners now join an elite group of past Champions Awards winners who have set the standard for global excellence around the network. They are leaders at the forefront of change and innovation, spearheading initiatives that have reshaped industries, forged valuable partnerships, and positively impacted the global landscape for trade and investment. We are proud of the work they do for their local and global communities, and look forward to what they accomplish in the years to come."
