European Chambers of Commerce and Industry are the oldest in the world, in some cases the biggest in the world – and as a group - certainly among the most diverse in the world! While dating back to 1599 and proud to boast 400 years of support to the business community, European Chambers are today engaged in the promotion of the most modern technologies, the best management practices, and providing the most upto-date services. One of the traditional services of European Chambers is to assist their member companies with their export-import efforts. Most of the Chambers are therefore engaged in helping to find partners for European companies. Potential business partners outside Europehence may directly contact Chambers in Europe who might mediate to identify partners in the Chamber's area of responsibility. Many national Chambers have also legal representation abroad that you may directly contact. On the other hand Chambers might offer up-to date market information and useful advice upon request.
