AmChams in Europe: US week virtual outreach

The AmChams in Europe network, which represents 45 AmChams in 43 countries in Europe and wider Europe, travels every year to Washington, DC to meet with high-level US stakeholders.

 

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the annual conference took place virtually this year from Monday, 11 May until Wednesday, 27 May

 

Executives from over 30 AmChams gathered together to meet with:

  • The National Economic Council

  • The US Chamber of Commerce

  • Fox Radio News

  • The US Department of State

  • The Atlantic Council

  • The US Department of Commerce

The topics of discussion focused on EU-US relations, US elections, US-UK trade as well as on COVID-19 and its influence on the transatlantic relationship. The importance of collaboration and coordination and the need for Chambers to act as bridgebuilders in these challenging times emerged in every discussion.
