About us
The Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry
Established in 1958 as a direct response to the creation of the European Economic Community, Eurochambres acts as the eyes, ears and voice of the business community at EU level.
Impact in Numbers
20M Eurochambres represents more than 20 million businesses through its members.
1700 Eurochambres represents a network of 1700 regional and local chambers across Europe.
Who we are
The leading voice
Eurochambres is the leading voice for the broad business community at EU level, building on chambers’ strong connections with the grass roots economy and their hands-on support to entrepreneurs. Chambers’ member businesses – over 93% of which are SMEs – employ over 120 million people.
What we do and How we do it
Eurochambres’ vision is an integrated, globally competitive Europe, where businesses can prosper and drive socio-economic progress. Chambers have an active role to play in the pursuit of this vision. Reflecting this, Eurochambres strives to represent Chambers of Commerce and Industry and their member companies towards the EU institutions, to identify relevant joint activities and capacity building across the European chamber network.
Policy Dialogue
Based on regular consultation with its members, Eurochambres represents European business interests to the European institutions.
The main goal is to influence policy developments to the benefit of chambers and their constituents, capitalizing on the network’s strong connection with the grassroot economy and using evidence-based policy positions that reflect the needs of the European business community, particularly small & medium sized enterprises.

Projects
Eurochambres manages and coordinates various projects, to the benefit of both chambers and the wider business community.
These EU co-funded projects relate to Eurochambres’ policy priorities and thus cover a wide range of activities that are designed to help individual businesses and enhance Europe’s competitiveness.
Visibility
The voice of the European business community and role of chambers is promoted through ongoing communication activities, a strong media presence and high-profile events.
