臺中市政府國際事務委員會董思齊執行長對世界臺商總會的到來歡迎表示，發展國際NGO中心是讓臺中邁向國際化城市的重要基石。此外，發展國際NGO中心也提供青年大量就業機會；以美國舉例，NGO已是美國第二大的就業市場。
▌The Executive Director of Taichung City Government International Affairs Commission, Sy-Chi, Doong, welcomed WTCC for coming to the INGO center. He believed that developing the INGO center is a cornerstone for Taichung to become an international city. Moreover, the establishment of the INGO center can also increase employment opportunities for young adults. For example, in the United States, NGOs have become the second largest employment market.
對於NGO領域，世界臺灣商會聯合總會亦是十分熟悉。聯合總會於2009年於紐約成立 STUF United Fund 世台聯合基金會，主要關注議題為人道救援、教育、公共醫療、及環境保育等。基金會透過與NGO、NPO、政府部門合作，希望創造永續改變(Sustainable changes)，讓世界更美好。現基金會的慈善項目足跡已遍布五大洲、25個國家；相信今後的為善之旅將繼續下去。
▌WTCC is particularly familiar with the field and function of NGO. In 2009, WTCC established STUF United Fund in New York City. It mainly focuses on the issue of humanitarian, education, public health, and environmental protection. The foundation connected NGOs, NPOS and the government hoping to achieve sustainable changes of making the world matter. Today, the foundation already spread out to five different continents and 25 countries. With kindness, STUF wished to continue to reach for more people who are in need.
世界臺灣商會聯合總會已連續兩年於臺中舉辦年會，說明臺中國際影響力的崛起。國際NGO中心繼續為臺中深耕，讓世界看見臺中！
▌World Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce held its annual meeting in Taichung for two consecutive years, which evidences Taichung’s rising influence on the international stage. INGO center will continue to devote in Taichung and let the world recognize Taichung.
