Tunisian American Chamber of Commerce

The Tunisian American Chamber of Commerce (TACC) is a non-governmental organization created in 1989. It is a founding member of the MENA Amcham Council, which groups the chambers of commerce in the Middle East and North Africa.

TACC’s overall mission is to encourage connections between businessmen/businesswomen and companies in Tunisia and in the United States of America, to develop, in particular, economic and commercial exchanges between the two countries. TACC also carries out relevant economic activities such as leading business delegations to US fairs, organizing lobbying missions to Washington D.C. to meet with the US Executive and Legislative Branches and assisting in the program of US business delegations visiting Tunisia.

Though TACC does not have the status of an AmCham, it enjoys the same privileges and benefits granted to AmChams as it meets the criterion stipulated by the US Chamber of Commerce, such as having an equal number of representatives of Tunisian and US companies, meaning a 50/50 parity, on its Board of Directors.
