The EU–Africa Chamber of Commerce (EACC) serves as a strategic platform for fostering trade and investment between Europe and Africa. We support European enterprises seeking to establish, grow, and expand their presence in African markets, while equally assisting African businesses in accessing European markets, capital, and partnerships.
Established to strengthen EU–Africa economic relations, the Chamber is committed to creating long-term value for its members and facilitating impactful business-to-business connections. Through our extensive business and diplomatic network, EACC provides a trusted gateway for companies navigating the dynamic economic landscapes of both continents.
To advance sustainable and mutually beneficial partnerships, EACC organizes quarterly trade missions across Africa and Europe, as well as the flagship Invest in Africa Summit held annually in the Netherlands; bringing together policymakers, investors, and business leaders to shape the future of EU–Africa cooperation.
Within our Network, businesses have the opportunity to grow, thrive, and empower their communities.
