Our Story

The Ethio-American Chamber of Commerce (EACC) was created to uplift, connect, and empower entrepreneurs across the Ethiopian and African diaspora. What started as a small circle of business leaders has grown into a movement that celebrates culture, builds bridges, and strengthens economic opportunity both in the United States and abroad.

Our journey is marked by flagship initiatives that bring people together. From our Gala Dinners that honor excellence, to delegations to Ethiopia that open doors for trade and cultural exchange, to year-round networking events that connect entrepreneurs with mentors and partners — EACC creates spaces where business and community thrive side by side.

One of our proudest milestones is the Women-Led Expo, a powerful platform dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs and leaders. This event highlights the achievements of women, provides tools for success, and fosters mentorship networks that inspire the next generation. It is part of our broader commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that every voice in our community has the opportunity to be heard and celebrated.

As we continue to grow, EACC remains a hub of advocacy, opportunity, and unity. We are committed to advancing businesses, empowering women, nurturing cultural pride, and creating lasting pathways of prosperity across the diaspora and beyond.
