Our History
Our Origins
Founded in 1980 in Miami as a nonprofit organization, the Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce emerged from the vision of Spanish entrepreneurs eager to expand into the Americas.
A response to business challenges
These companies saw the U.S. as a land of opportunity but faced uncertainties—complex regulations, export barriers, shifting tax policies, and an unfamiliar business environment. The Chamber was created to guide and support them.
Growing beyond an organization
Through the years, we have evolved into a bridge between cultures and markets, transforming opportunities into real success stories. Today, the U.S. is the largest foreign investor in Spain, and Spain sees the U.S. as its primary investment destination.
Impact across industries
We have supported companies in sectors such as food & beverage, legal, finance, consulting, construction, and industrial services in entering and thriving in the U.S. market.
A hub for global leaders
Our flagship events and galas have brought together more than 360 CEOs and executives from Latin America, Spain, and the U.S., along with authorities and cultural icons such as Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain, José Andrés, Antonio Banderas, Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, and leaders from Microsoft LATAM and Iberdrola-Avangrid.
Leadership today
With 552 members, we are the largest official binational chamber in the United States. From Miami—one of the world’s most strategic and multicultural hubs—we help businesses expand across both North and Latin America.
Mission
To serve as the trusted institutional support abroad, backed by official legitimacy and driven by passionate professionals committed to helping companies turn their ambitions into reality. We guide businesses in consolidating or expanding their presence in the United States, offering services that foster both business development and brand positioning.
