Who We Are

Established in 1973, the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) is a non-profit and independent business association held by the private sector with its primary objective to foster stronger commercial relations between Brazil and Canada. The Chamber is led by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of industry leaders and experts in conducting business between the two countries.

What We Offer

Access to an unrivalled network of institutions, executives/entrepreneurs conducting business between Brazil/Canada.

Access to Brazilian/Canadian dignitaries and trade-missions organized by public (e.g., Ministries) and private (e.g., Industry groups) stakeholders.

Exclusive sectoral events focused on identifying and promoting investment opportunities between Brazil and Canada (e.g., government priorities/projects, funding programs).

Let's do Business Together
