Overview:
The America-Israel Chamber of Commerce, Central Atlantic Region, was incorporated as an apolitical, not-for-profit, membership organization in 1987. Serving Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, AICC is the only economic development group in the area to promote the interests of the U.S.-Israel business community. AICC stands ready to assist its members in capitalizing on Israel's strong scientific and industrial capabilities. Working closely in partnership with key organizations such as the Israel Economic Mission, Israeli trade associations, the U.S. Department of Commerce, local chambers of commerce, and the Israel Chamber affiliates nationwide, the AICC offers the information needed to do business with Israel. The AICC is the regional representative of the BIRD (Bi-National Industrial Research & Development) Foundation, an Israeli-US government endowment, established in 1977 as a by-product of the Camp David Accords, that funds bi-national joint ventures.
