Scaling, Funding, and Global Connections

Who We Are

What makes us different?

What sets us apart from other chambers is our adoption of an innovative strategy that seamlessly integrates technology to address present-day business requirements.
This synergy is amplified by our collective business acumen, extensive global network, multicultural business insights, and adherence to cultural etiquette.

This approach is embodied in our international matchmaking tool, our access to industry-specific accelerator programs, comprehensive skilled labor force services, meticulously tailored trade missions to Mexico and Latin America, export readiness programs, and a range of other specialized services.

We establish a robust framework for proactively identifying stakeholder needs and devising strategies to fulfill them. Our commitment to this mission is enhanced by a multicultural perspective that is deeply intertwined with connections to our countries.

Our Story

We were established in 1996 with the goal to expand Hispanic businesses in the state of North Carolina.

Today we have evolved adopting the chamber 4.0 philosophy of promoting a model of innovation with a framework for proactive identification of stakeholder needs and exploring strategies to serve those needs in real time. Digital transformation is part of our new model addressing the supply chain needs. These are timely opportunities for our Hispanic business in NC while connecting them to potential non-Hispanic buyers in NC and Latin America.

Small and medium sized enterprises comprise roughly 90% of businesses worldwide and provide employment for more than half of the global workforce. Hispanic enterprises are part of that 90% and present in North Carolina.

Digital trade could become a catalyst for economic growth, job creation and greater participation of small businesses in global value chains.

 

We are Building Tomorrow’s Success: Continuing the Evolution of Hispanic Businesses in North Carolina with the Chamber 4.0 philosophy.
