The International Trade Consortium (ITC) promotes Miami-Dade County as a Global Gateway for bilateral trade and enhances access to economic development opportunities for local companies. Established in November 2002, our office is the lead liaison between the County and the Consular Corps of Miami and serves as a one-stop information and referral resource for international affairs and trade.

ITC works with a wide range of partners, including foreign diplomatic and trade offices, bi-national chambers of commerce and county, state and federal government agencies, and economic development agencies, along with the Miami International Airport and PortMiami. We plan the County’s official outbound business development missions, support inbound trade missions, and manage the Sister Cities program of Miami-Dade County.

The World Affairs Council of Miami is an independent, non-partisan, 501(c)(3) non-profit. We are a proud member of the World Affairs Councils of America's national network - the country's largest and oldest continuously operating association of international affairs educational charities.

We serve to enhance community access to high quality information on international affairs. Since 2021, we have worked to form strategic partnerships with local academic institutions; multilateral organizations; local and federal government; NGOs; and local business leaders with the goal of developing Miami’s international relations sector and profile in world affairs more broadly.

We hold interactive foreign policy talks with distinguished speakers, host foreign diplomats; organize high-level roundtable discussions; and offer educational & professional development opportunities for students.
