EACC is a transatlantic network of local chapters with a combined membership of over 800 companies in Europe and the United States and a reach of approximately 10,000 high-level executives on both sides of the Atlantic. Our members operate in all industries and range from multi-national corporations to small and medium sized enterprises. While each chapter reflects its local business community, the reach of our network is transatlantic.
Founded in Paris in 1926, the network adopted the name European-American Chamber of Commerce in 2003. The first chapter in the United States was established in 2007, and there are currently chapters in Paris, Amsterdam, Lyon, New York, Cincinnati, Florida, the Carolinas and Texas.
EACC – Carolinas is business-led but works in partnership with government and non-profit entities. Together with its sister chapters EACC-Carolinas has built a highly dynamic trans-Atlantic network that reaches over 10,000 executives in the US and across Europe. With over 800 members in Europe and the US, the EACC is a valuable resource for any size business.
The objective of the EACC is to stimulate business development and facilitate active business relationships between European and American companies & professional organizations.
Moreover, we introduce our members to relevant partners from either side of the Atlantic, connecting them with Partnering Opportunities and resources to help their expansion plans.
