Sponsorship Opportunities

Businesses operate in diverse and globally connected environments.

Success often depends on thoughtful leaders who are well-informed of the socio-economic, cultural and ideological differences that exist around them.

Increasing your company’s global intellectual and social capital contributes to your overall competitive advantage.

The World Affairs Council offers many opportunities for businesses and their leaders to grow.

These world leaders are willing to share ideas and culture for best practices and would love to identify partnerships or business opportunities.
