USCIB provides key platforms for American business to participate in – and influence – major multilateral discussions and negotiations. As sole US affiliate of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the International Organization of Employers (IOE), and Business at OECD (BIAC), USCIB presents informed business views and solutions to government leaders and policy makers worldwide.
We Work with the World
USCIB’s unique global network of business affiliates provides unparalleled access to international policy makers and regulatory authorities worldwide. Our members’ views are heard in national capitals and at major international economic forums around the world.
No other American organization can provide comparable channels for business to interface with key inter-governmental bodies such as the United Nations, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the International Labor Organization. ICC, IOE, and BIAC act as important global business forums in their own right.
USCIB’s global approach begins at home, with Congress and the Executive Branch. We have established relationships with key US government departments and officials, who look to USCIB for solid business analysis on key issues affecting US commercial interests and the international economy.
Our advocacy role is enhanced by an extensive international network of business affiliations, through which USCIB pursues world business consensus and leadership on critical international economic issues, while we ensure that business views are communicated to international decision-makers and institutions.

Did you know that USCIB can connect member companies with business counterparts in 170+ countries around the globe through our ICC and BIAC networks? If you have an executive looking for a B2B meeting in Tokyo, Berlin, Brazil, or beyond, we can put you in touch with our trade association partners and their member companies worldwide. In addition to our extensive policy work, this is another way USCIB’s global affiliations help member companies maximize their potential.
