Founded in New York in 1959, the Spain–United States Chamber of Commerce has become one of the leading transatlantic business organizations fostering economic ties between the two countries. Our guiding mission is to advance, promote and assist in the expansion of bilateral trade and investment between Spain and the United States. The Chamber is a not-for-profit membership institution that represents the interests of companies that have established or are interested in establishing, business and commercial relations between Spain and the United States. The Chamber brings together businesses. Ranging from individual entrepreneurs to large corporations, our membership includes the most important and influential companies from both countries, including major players in banking, energy, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, accountancy, law, management/business consultancy, fashion, food and beverages, airlines and furnishing. We provide our members with practical, measurable business-expansion opportunities by delivering high-caliber networking and targeted-marketing platforms and events. Top-quality business intelligence and regulatory advice and oversight are also a part of our support services. Additionally, the Chamber provides a forum in which U.S. based-Spanish business executives and their American counterparts with Spanish interests may identify and pursue common interests and opportunities regarding their mutual business activities. The Chamber distills and represents the business interests of its members before the government in both Washington and Madrid, and facilitates positive relations between its members and a full network of business institutions and organizations, governmental agencies, professional and trade associations, and prominent dignitaries. The Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Inc. is an organization recognized by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism of Spain.
