World Trade:
Advancing Trade
Through Innovation
“If you want something new, you
have to stop doing something old.”
– Peter F. Drucker
Author Scott Berkun defines innovation as “significant, positive
change.” Significant inventions are goods or services that impact
our lives, like wireless communication, GPS navigation or
da Vinci operating robots. Looking back at the 88-year history
of World Trade Week (WTW) and the changes that have occurred
during that time, we get some perspective about the scale
needed to be worthy of that word.
Since 1927, WTW has aggressively promoted the growth of
global trade in Southern California. That type of consistent and
coordinated effort has produced significant positive change
on global trade in our local and national economies. WTW
has focused on bringing innovative strategies for supporting
and fostering global trade in our region. Staying focused
and determined in those efforts, and carrying that important
message to our civic and business leaders for 88 years is, in
fact, significant.
A 2013 Annual Gallup Poll shows that nearly 60 percent
of all respondents viewed global trade as an opportunity for
growth within the U.S. and as a form of job creation, while less
than 35 percent viewed global trade as a threat to the U.S.
economy. This is the largest spread in this poll since 1993 and
demonstrates an improved view of global trade by Americans.
WTW is certainly a positive contributor to this trend and will
continue to inform and communicate the importance and
benefits of global trade at all levels.
In 2012, more than $400 billion in total trade flowed through
the region. The question we must now ask is, how can WTW best
support the continued expansion of global trade?
I am honored to be a part of such a vibrant WTW initiative. This
year’s theme, “Advancing Trade Through Innovation,” builds on
the past while focusing on the future; and salutes the creativity,
leadership, and forward thinking of Los Angeles civic and
business leaders as true innovative global business partners.
Together we can build on the past and not be bound by the
ideas of yesteryear as we work toward significant and positive
change.

U.S. Dept. of commerce’S MESSAGE
Message from
U.S. Dept. of
Commerce
In 1927, leaders in the Los Angeles
business community, with the support
of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, observed the first
World Trade Week – a week in May dedicated to focusing the
attention of the government, the business community, and the
public on the importance of trade to a healthy economy. Today,
we truly have embraced the concept of a global marketplace,
and the U.S. Government’s support for international trade has
never been stronger. We know that the majority of the world’s
consumers live outside the borders of the United States and that
businesses that focus solely on the domestic market for their
products are literally missing the boat.
Together, Los Angeles and Long Beach constitute the busiest
container export seaports in the country, with ships departing
each day loaded with high-quality, “Made in the USA” goods
destined for consumers throughout the world. Even more
frequently, U.S. goods travel by truck and by rail to our
neighbors in Canada and Mexico through a trilateral trade
network, thanks in large part to the success of the North
American Free Trade Agreement, which has boosted employment
and economic growth in all three countries for 20 years.
With the announcement of the National Export Initiative in
20I0, President Obama demonstrated his commitment to
expanding exports. As Secretary of Commerce, one of my key
priorities is to make sure the world knows that the United
States is “Open for Business.” As part of this agenda, we are
encouraging U.S. businesses to “Look South” for new sales
opportunities. The “Look South” program is a coordinated
Federal Government effort led by the Department of Commerce
to help more U.S. companies do business in Mexico and the 10
other United States Free Trade Agreement partner markets in
Latin America. We are also excited by the potential opportunities
for U.S. businesses presented by ongoing negotiations on new
trade agreements, specifically the Trans-Pacific Partnership and
the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. In pursuing
these agreements, we are working with Congress to maximize the
benefit to U.S. business, which is why Trade Promotion Authority
is a priority for the Obama Administration as a key part of our
overall economic strategy and foreign policy.
At the Department of Commerce, we are developing a series of
trade events, called Discover Global Markets Business Forums,
to be held across the country in the coming months. These
events will help companies identify and pursue emerging
opportunities in foreign markets, obtain the tools necessary
to succeed in foreign markets, leverage government resources
to compete successfully, and make key contacts with industry
experts. In Los Angeles, business can explore opportunities at
the Discover Global Markets: Europe Business Forum to be held
June 3-4. The European Union is one of our largest trading
U.S. Dept. of commerce’S MESSAGE
partners, with $470 billion in U.S. goods and services exports
in 2012, and presents many diverse opportunities for U.S.
businesses.
I am excited to be leading the Department of Commerce at
a time of expanding global trade prospects. I congratulate the
Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce on the success of
World Trade Week, and look forward to the advances we will
make in international trade in the coming year.
Sincerely,
PENNY PRITZKER
U.S. Department of Commerce

Message from
City of Los Angeles
Mayor ERIC GARCETTI
Dear Friends:
On behalf of the City of Los Angeles,
I welcome you to the 88th Annual
World Trade Week, a celebration of our city’s economic
strength and prosperity, which is built on trade and global
competitiveness.
History has taught us that cities that open new markets
and make global exchange easy can prosper for centuries.
Los Angeles recognizes this historical truth and is positioned
to expand its leadership on a national and international stage.
It is why the City of Los Angeles continually invests resources
in its ports, transportation infrastructure, and in businesses with
a global prospective. As a gateway for trade to and from Asia
and Latin America, every industry located in Los Angeles can be
connected to international markets.
I am proud to be a partner with the Los Angeles Area Chamber
of Commerce, which strives to improve the region’s trade
services network and efficiently export Los Angeles’ superior
products and services to the world. The Chamber has helped
to fortify Los Angeles’ position as an economically vibrant,
business-oriented city. Thanks to the Chamber, the World Trade
Week committee and Chair Ken Miranda for their commitment
to strengthening Los Angeles’ economy.
I send you my best wishes for a successful World Trade Week.
Sincerely,
MAYOR ERIC GARCETTI

Greetings 2014 World Trade Week
Attendees:
As I round up my final term as Mayor
of Long Beach, as always, it is my great
pleasure to recognize the 88th Anniversary of World Trade Week
and its national Southern California observance. For more than
eight decades, this tremendous event has promoted the Long
Beach and Los Angeles Ports, their expanding economies, and
the outstanding growth of international trade.
This year’s 2014 Chair of World Trade Week, Ken Miranda,
is eager to kick off this month’s events. Under his dynamic
leadership, May 2014 is sure to provide another outstanding
opportunity to recognize the countless benefits of free and fair
trade.
Celebrating great achievements in international trade, while
raising awareness about its importance to Southern California,
World Trade Week has made a positive and lasting impact on
our business market. I want to congratulate the members of
the World Trade Week Southern California Committee for their
important efforts to address trade issues.
Again, I want to welcome everyone to World Trade Week 2014
and extend my best wishes for another successful month of
events.
Warmest Regards,
MAYOR BOB FOSTER

HISTORY | 3
world trade week history
The World Trade Week concept
was conceived in 1926 and first
observed in 1927 in Southern
California. World trade continues
to significantly contribute to
the nation’s economy and has
developed a vast new horizon for
America’s businesses.
In 1926, Stanley T. Olafson,
then manager of the World Trade
Department of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, conceived
the idea of a World Trade Week
observance in Southern California. This was during a period
of isolationism and under the conditions prevailing during the
heyday of the restrictive Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.
Celebrating a month
of world trade in May
In 1935, President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
officially proclaimed World
Trade Week as a national
observance by the United
States Government and
selected the third week
in May each year, which
includes May 22, National
Maritime Day.
Initially, the purpose of World Trade Week was to promote the
Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Following World War
II, the expanding economy and potential for international
commerce growth created an opportunity for World Trade Week
to expand its scope to include all facilities and organizations in
the Southern California area involved in world trade.
Under the guidance of its founding sponsors — the L.A. Area
Chamber, Los Angeles World Airports, the Port of Long Beach
and the Port of Los Angeles — the original week-long observance
has now grown to more than 30 events held each year
throughout the month of May in the counties of Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura.
This tremendous nonprofit endeavor is further supported by
Southern California companies who offer sponsorship for the
many programs and informational materials the World Trade
Week Committee creates each year.

Be careful,
please
Every month, at ustradenumbers.com, WorldCity
posts more than 6,000 stories, 8,000 interactive
maps and 12,000 charts. That’s right, every month.
That includes the latest import-export data the
Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach, LAX
and every other airport and seaport in the nation.
It includes data for U.S. trade with every country.
It includes U.S. trade for more than 900 exports
and 900 imports, by port and by country.
It’s a deep dive into big data, filled with tantalizing
hyperlinks, so be careful, please. It’s so rich in
intelligence it’s not easy to leave.
