World Chamber Federation

Our World Chambers Federation (WCF) is the backbone of the global chamber network leading, connecting and inspiring chambers to benefit real economies and communities, every day, everywhere.

Chambers of commerce are an essential and credible intermediary between government, business and the general public. With a history spanning over 400 years, chambers today exist in almost every country and offer a multitude of programs and services to support trade and development. WCF unites this dynamic network and represents the interests of local, national, regional, bilateral and transnational chambers of commerce and industry worldwide.

WCF is a non-political, non-governmental body providing a platform for chamber leaders to connect, inspire and strengthen links among chambers.

Who we are

The World Chambers Federation (WCF) is the forum that connects chambers across borders, creating a better environment for business and MSMEs, and driving prosperity and opportunity for all.

WCF is ICC’s unique and truly global forum connecting, leading and inspiring the global network of chambers and their respective business communities. As well as strengthening links among chambers, WCF also helps individual chambers become more productive.

We work for and with chambers through our shared principles — Collaboration, Pioneering, Innovation, Learning, Teamwork and Trust.

Welcome Note

It is with great pleasure that we announce the launching of the new version of the ICC-Lebanon website, an informative platform to keep you updated with the most recent news of the Lebanese National Committee, and the economic themes covered by ICC the World business Organization.

ICC represents the Lebanese private sector in the international community and we are happy to enhance our presence through the various contributions in the different tasks that ICC aims to highlight, undertake and develop.

Over the years, we constantly endeavor to offer the best services to our members of different backgrounds and sectors, from local networking to international contacts. This was effectively achieved by hosting regional and international events, assisting our members within the global business community, in addition to introducing them to the ICC international experts in every field, by proposing candidates for the different Commissions and Task-Forces.

More over our presence internationally has received recognition, as the ICC selection committee approved the membership of Dr. Nayla Comair Obeid as a member of the ICC Executive Board for a mandate of three years upon the recommendation of ICC-Lebanon.

On the eve of our Golden Jubilee, ICC Lebanon aims to attract more members from different economic sectors. We pride ourselves on the rapid expansion of the members of our arbitration community which has expanded significantly in the last decade. We now aim at similarly expanding our network to the different Chambers, joint Business Councils and Business Associations, in order to set a platform for Lebanese businesses, where they can find the needed support and assistance to establish their businesses or to connect with their local or international counterparts.

Our plan for the coming years, despite the critical circumstances we are passing through, is to re-activate the pivotal economic role that Lebanon has played in the region. This mission requires coordination with the different players in the Lebanese scene and ensure an effective cooperation with our colleagues from all over the world.
