sponsoring organization


Explanation:
Eichborn shows simply "carrier" as the translation for "Trägergesellschaft", but I like Trautwein's Hamblock/Wessels "sponsoring/supporting organization" better.

Here is one reference URL:

http://www.deutscher-pavillon.de/en/cont5.html


"Trägergesellschaft Deutscher Pavillon (TDP), the corporation for the realisation and co-ordination of the German Pavilion"

It might be better to stay away from the words "corporation" or "company" because we do not know exactly what sort of "organization" is meant.
