Global Business Briefing

Hosted by the Salt Lake Chamber and World Trade Center Utah 

Global dynamics are shifting quickly, and Utah companies need clear, actionable insight. The Salt Lake Chamber and World Trade Center Utah are partnering to host a quarterly Global Business Briefing to help business leaders strengthen market access, evaluate international partnerships, and stay competitive in an unpredictable environment. 

Our April 30 event highlights early insights from WTC Utah’s recent Germany & Switzerland trade mission, with a look at Europe’s economic trends, workforce approaches, and what they mean for companies managing global production, sourcing, or sales.  

Featured speakers 

• Jonas Brunschwig, consul general of Switzerland, sharing a market outlook on Switzerland and the broader European environment, with perspective on what Utah companies should be watching now. 

• Martin Ritter, CEO of Stadler US, sharing how a Switzerland-based manufacturer is building talent and operations in Utah, including insights on apprenticeship models. 

We’ll also touch on recent tariff developments and how tools like the Foreign-Trade Zone can help importers reduce costs and manage risk. 

Each briefing convenes together industry, diplomatic, and policy perspectives focused on practical guidance you can use now. If your work involves global sourcing, customers, investment, or supply chain strategy, this conversation will help you navigate what’s next with confidence.
