The EBO Worldwide Network

The Chamber

About

With the support of the European Commission, Directorate General Enterprise and Industry the EBO Worldwide Network was created in 2001 between representatives of EU business associations and chambers of commerce in non-EU countries.

EBO Worldwide Network stands as the only organisation that represents European business interests in markets outside the European Union. It represents an active network in more than 54 key markets that serves European multinationals, as well as micro, small, medium and large companies.

European chambers of commerce and European business associations within the EBO Global Network work daily with European Union delegations around the world with the shared interest of supporting European companies.

The main objective of this network is to promote exchanges of views between these associations and their host countries and to establish closer relationships between the Commission services and these organizations raise awareness on EU policy priorities and activities and improve the market access for European business in Third Countries.

The EBO Worldwide Network, which extends to more than twenty countries around the world, aims at providing a lobbying, information and networking platform for European businesses worldwide.
