The American Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Panama is an independent nonprofit organization founded on October 31, 1979, thanks to the drive and vision of a group of Panamanian and U.S. business leaders who sought to promote trade and investment between Panama and the United States.
From 68 founding companies, today we are a solid community of more than 400 member companies from different countries, part of the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America and the Caribbean (AACCLA), which brings together more than 20,000 companies representing 80% of U.S. investment across the region, and part of the network of more than 180 AmChams worldwide.
