Mission

The Latvian Chamber of Commerce in the Americas (LatCham) promotes Latvian companies in the United States and American based companies in Latvia. LatCham’s mission is to grow American-Latvian trade and investment. LatCham was founded in December 2008. After discussions with Latvian and American entrepreneurs and investors, and government officials on both side of the Atlantic, a need for a chamber promoting economic exchange between the Americas and Latvia was deemed a critical stepping stone to economic growth and prosperity for Latvia and the Americas.

Regional Representation

LatCham's main offices are located in the Washington DC metropolitan area and has regional representation in the Northeast, Midwest and West Coast of the United States. LatCham is rapidly developing an expanded business network of US and Latvian businesses as well as partnering with regional business networks in both Europe and in the American continent.

Industry Focus

In addition to our regional focus, we are forming a number of industry sector-specific committees, including Energy, Financial Services, Food & Agriculture, Government, Health Care, Information Technology, Transportation and Logistics.LatCham represents Latvian businesses and professionals throughout the Americas. LatCham is being formed as a non-profit organization (NAICS code is 813910) and will serve individual Latvian and American business people, emerging firms, as well as large international businesses. In addition, with alliances spanning from Canada to South America it is an organization representing the Americas and the wealthy and diverse markets found in this hemisphere. Coupled with the rich tradition of Latvian merchants and traders dating back to over 800 years the mercantile spirit of adventure and opportunity permeate the organization.

LatCham as a Community

We help Latvian companies find the right opportunities and right partners in the Americas – and vice versa. We also are a first point of entry for Latvian professionals seeking to build their professional business network. By leveraging a wide network of contacts as well as new web 2.0 technologies, and our experience, we are creating the premier Latvian Business Network.LatCham is a community. As a community we help one another succeed. Together, we will share critical business information so that it can be leveraged by all members of our organization.
