Overview:
The
Bucks County International Trade Council was founded
by five chambers of commerce (Pennridge, Upper Bucks,
Central Bucks, Lower Bucks, Warminster), two colleges
(Bucks County Community College, Delaware Valley
College) and the County Commissioners to serve the
international trade interests of small and medium
sized companies within Bucks County.
This is accomplished through direct counseling,
market research, educational seminars and other
programs.
In
2002 the County Commissioners gave BCITC the responsibility
of promoting the Port of Bucks. This
large bulk cargo facility is one of the 100 largest
ports in the United States and accounts for 10%
of steel imports.
The
mission of the BCITC is to promote international trade
by educating Bucks County businesses in opening or
expanding American and foreign trade, and in increasing
employment in Bucks County through added imports and
exports. The Council will facilitate
exchange by coordinating resources expertise available
through chambers of commerce, educational organizations,
business, government, and financial sources.
