Since 2017, MACC has served as the defining bridge between the Republic of Mali, the broader African & Caribbean diaspora, and the American business community — raising flags, brokering trade, and building the kind of relationships that outlast transactions.
The Malian & American Chamber of Commerce (MACC) is a non-profit, member-driven organization that has served since 2017 as the strongest institutional connection between businesses across Mali, the African and Caribbean diaspora, and the American business ecosystem.
We are not simply a networking organization. We are an engine of bilateral economic development — one that has organized history in Philadelphia, co-sponsored transformative trade missions across the Atlantic, and woven a multilateral web of partnerships that strengthens commerce on both sides of the world.
From the factory floors of Bamako to the boardrooms of Philadelphia, from AGOA trade corridors to diaspora investment circles — MACC is the constant. The trusted partner. The informed guide. The relentless advocate for a prosperous Mali-U.S. relationship.
“Bridging Markets. Building Futures. Since 2017.”
