Welcome to the ChamberofCommerce.org Information Center
We provide free, comprehensive information for the general public, members of Chambers of Commerce worldwide, Chamber managers and operators, and anyone considering joining a Chamber of Commerce near their business.
ChambersofCommerce.org is not a Chamber of Commerce itself, nor are we funded or directed by any governmental or commercial entity. We provide free and independent comprehensive information, ideas, and inspiration for Chambers of Commerce. We are great believers in their role to support the small and medium business community, which is crucial to the economy, society, and prosperity of every country.
Established in 1998, our independent platform has been collecting and updating information to serve the public. Our mission is to enhance the quality and variety of services offered by each Chamber of Commerce to its members and to encourage more business owners to join their preferred Chamber.
Our platform is entirely independent, ensuring that the information provided is reliable, professional, and free from any external influences.
The site is a private initiative, reflecting our commitment to supporting small businesses.
Feel free to explore the site and utilize its resources to benefit your business or the Chamber of Commerce you manage. We do not require any payment or personal registration, and we maintain an ad-free environment to ensure unbiased information.
