The Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce was established in 1965 by 10 visionary business and civic leaders representing the various districts in the Cayman Islands, and whose objectives have remained true to this day: To promote and protect Cayman businesses and ensure that their voice is heard within Government.
Today, the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce is regarded as the country’s largest, most representative and influential private sector organisation. We are the leading voice within Cayman’s business community, working to represent our members and helping to further business development across the Islands.
The Chamber works tirelessly to support the needs of its members while at the same time connecting them to other businesses and opportunities through a range of high-quality training, facilities rental, services, activities and events.
From the smallest retailer to an international brand, we ensure that the playing field is level for every member to utilise our resources, and for every member to have a voice.
We are proud of the fact that we have played, and continue to play, an integral part in the successful growth and development of our Islands.
