U.S.-Colombia Business Council

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Colombia Business Council (USCBC) brings together U.S. companies that operate in Colombia to advance cross-sector policy recommendations to promote economic growth through mutually beneficial bilateral trade and investment. The USCBC was launched in 2016 in collaboration with the National Business Association of Colombia (ANDI) to provide a platform to convene the private sector of both countries through an annual policy dialogue with both governments.
