IFZA at the WFZO World Congress 2026

As global economic leaders gather to redefine the future of trade, investment, and supply chains, the 12th Annual World Free Zones Organization (WFZO) World Congress takes the center stage in Panama.

Bringing together policymakers, Free Zone authorities, investors, and business leaders, the Congress serves as a key platform for shaping the next chapter of global economic growth. Returning as the International Title Sponsor, IFZA reinforces its commitment to driving international business expansion and supporting the evolution of Free Zones as strategic enablers of global trade.

From our presence at the booth to high-level ministerial engagements, it has been a strong start here in Panama. Our representatives joined global leaders to explore how digitization, sustainability, and resilience are redefining the next generation of Free Zones.

Panama: A Strategic Entry Point

Panama stands out not just as a host, but also as an answer to many of the challenges being discussed. As businesses seek resilient, multi-market models and the ability to establish a presence quickly, Panama makes this possible.

Its strategic location offers unparalleled access to North and South America, and with the Panama Canal, businesses can reach high-growth markets in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. In addition, Panama’s world-class logistics infrastructure also ensures that products move faster and further. With modern ports, integrated air and sea connectivity, and access to major global trade routes, the country is an ideal location for business relocation and expanding supply chain operations internationally.
