The British Chamber of Commerce is a global non-profit organisation dedicated to creating business relationships between the United Kingdom and countries all over the world.
The BCC in Slovakia was founded in 1998, and has since dedicated its time to forging strong economic ties between the UK and Slovakia. With over 120 members, the opportunities for networking and business partnerships are numerous and invaluable. As a member of the Council of British Chambers of Commerce in Continental Europe (COBCOE), we are in constant communication with and have access to the resources of over 30 countries here in Europe. Becoming a Member of our organisation means becoming an integral part of an international network of successful businesses.
We encourage these international business co-operatives by sponsoring various professional and social events that feature high profile members of the Slovak community. By providing a forum for British companies to effectively voice their collective agendas in the Slovak Republic, we enable all businesses to trade more intelligently, and therefore, more profitably.
