U.S.-Colombia Business Council

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the National Business Association of Colombia (ANDI), established the U.S.-Colombia Business Council (USCBC) in 2017. This initiative was launched to enhance the robust bilateral relationship between the United States and Colombia. The Chamber has consistently supported and collaborated with both governments to strengthen commercial and economic ties, which serve as the foundation for this strategic partnership. The USCBC actively engages with senior officials to advance cross-sector policy recommendations, aiming to promote economic growth that benefits both small and large businesses in the U.S. and Colombia.
