Costa Rican-American Chamber of Commerce

The Costa Rican-American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham Costa Rica) was founded over 37 years ago by a group of North American and Costa Rican businesspeople with a vision towards promoting and nurturing the bilateral relationship between the United States and Costa Rica.

Today’s AmCham organization consists of 400 companies and 1300 corporate representatives divided almost equally between Costa Rican and US interests.  The AmCham membership represents all areas of the country´s economic activity including agriculture, livestock, aquaculture, importers/distributors, tourism, manufacturing industries, banks and financial institutions, construction and non-profit organizations. AmCham member companies represent 80% of Costa Rica’s foreign direct investment and 75% of the country’s exports.  

AmCham is the leading advocate for increased trade and investment between the United States and Costa Rica and is a vigorous advocate for creating the conditions that will enable Costa Rica to become a major global competitor for foreign direct investment.
