Local, state, and federal agencies focused on international trade and transportation, New York City’s diplomatic community, trade organizations, nonprots, businesses of all sizes and other stakeholders come together each year to remind us of the important role global trade in goods and services plays in growing good jobs for New Yorkers and in keeping the New York metropolitan economy strong.New York District Export Council members and World Trade Week NYC partner organizations volunteer their time throughout the year to connect, network, share resources and plan World Trade Week activities. In Spring 2023, we held three partner meetings in February, March and April that featured presentations by the U.S. Council for International Business and the NY/NJ Foreign Freight Forwarders and Brokers Association. We shared updated contacts and information about the range of programs available to help New York’s small and medium size business succeed in the global marketplace.Thanks to our partner organizations, WTW NYC has expanded to include a wide range of activities during the entire month of May designed to reach a broad and diverse audience.

WTW NYC Innovation AwardSNS DESIGNwww.SNSDesign.comPresented to a company, organization or individual in the New York metropolitan region for leadership in developing a new idea or approach that has made a positive contribution to the eld of international trade.CEO of New York City-based SnS Design, Nisha Sawhney, works in an industry dominated by men. Born in India, she founded her own rm nearly two decades ago in Manhattan. Working with clients around the globe, SnS Design has succeeded beyond her dreams — most recently diversifying into the design of innovative medical devices. Today SnS Design designs many products that are manufactured overseas and is working on a number of products for manufacture in other parts of the world — as well as in the USA for American clients. She was featured in Forbes – “The Woman Who Could Design Anything and Did.”“If you build it, they will come” is the way a lot of entrepreneurs think. However, Nisha recognizes that the real secret is in being able to visualize a concept. For example, where do you want to sell your widget? Nisha recognizes that if it’s the global market and not just the U.S. that changes the design. Some people want to
18WTW nyc 2023 WTW nyc 2023Awardeesdesign and sell a product to a big company, some want to manufacture it themselves, while others want to do something else. For Nisha, successful industrial design is conceptualizing — including the whole business strategy — right from the beginning, then building it so they will come. The real satisfaction in industrial design, Nisha believes, is in combining informed design with informed materials choices so that the product is fast to market, user-friendly, aesthetically appealing, very durable, and, most importantly, superbly functional.The industry growth and achievements that exemplify SnS Design’s international success include Nisha’s work as both product designer and project manager for global consumer product companies like Haier, LG, Whirlpool, Westinghouse, Amana, Amcor, Eddie Bauer, Rosco, LiFeng, Temptu, Zipz and many more.She has been awarded utility and design patents for many consumer products. She has served as juror for a decade at The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and has been invited as speaker at CES events. She is on the United Inventors Association (UIA) Advisory Board as a product design expert and speaker educating entrepreneurs and inventors on how to bring their products to market. She has been featured as a product design expert and focus group expert on the PBS show - Make48. com. Nisha also volunteers to teach MBA students at NYU – Speed to Market, high school students at Teen Design Fair and underprivileged female youth.Nisha’s International Marketing Plan for the next 3-5 years includes launching CoachMyIdea for the global market and rolling out a medical device that has been patent granted in Japan, South Korea, Russia, and Israel. Currently, she is waiting for 11 more countries to grant a patent for the medical device.
