ICC World Chambers Federation (ICC WCF)
WCF was established by ICC in 1951 to be the advocate of its chamber
of commerce members worldwide. While each chamber represents a group
of companies of mostly small- and medium-sized enterprises, WCF
strengthens links between these chambers, enabling each to improve
performance and discover new products and services to offer their
members. WCF promotes and protects the role of the chamber as an
essential intermediary between government, businesses and the
general public.
WCF represents the interests of all local, national, regional,
bilateral and transnational chambers of commerce and industry.
Members include chambers of commerce and industry, chambers of
manufacturers, chambers of economy, and bilateral chambers of
commerce.
