We are the exclusive local representative of the world’s largest business federation – the Washington-based  U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the umbrella organization of some 3,000 local chambers (more than three million businesses and organizations across the U.S.). Our Chamber is a member of the European Council of American Chambers of Commerce ECACC), linking 41 AmChams throughout Europe and is an associate member of the Asia-Pacific Council of American Chambers of Commerce (APCAC) which represents business executives and entities in 25 countries of the Asia Pacific region.

Members of our Chamber include representatives of 10 U.S. states and one county. We are also linked with 14 Chambers in the U.S., that are dedicated to trade relations with Israel.

 

The U.S.-Israel Business Initiative (USIBI) is the premier vehicle advancing the bilateral commercial relationship between the United States and Israel. USIBI pursues policy and organizes activities to deepen our strategic alliance through greater economic integration, trade, and investment.

USIBI furthers members’ commercial interests through the following:

  • Advancing public policies before the government of Israel and the U.S. government to promote and enhance bilateral commercial relations.
  • Advocating on behalf of U.S. companies on macroeconomic, investment, and trade policies that expand their access in the Israeli market.
  • Serving as a bridge for American business, the Israeli government, and the Israeli private sector to discuss key issues.

The USIBI is a core program of the Middle East and North Africa Affairs Department. It is part of the U.S.Chamber of Commerce and integral to the International Division that helps the U.S. business community compete in the global marketplace. The Initiative has full access to the Chamber’s congressional and legal affairs divisions, as well as various Chamber institutes and programs. This access can be used to advance USIBI policies, programs, and initiatives.
