CAMACOL has been a pioneer in the international business sector.
For over 35 years CAMACOL has been active in this area through its
Hemispheric Congress of Latin Chambers of Commerce and Industry, a program
which is unique in that it has an established infrastructure comprised of the
presidents of the national chambers of commerce throughout the Latin America
and Caribbean region, as well as Spain. This infrastructure facilities
business linkages for Florida companies in the export sector, and supports
new to export business as well.
No other organization in the State of Florida has this
established infrastructure. The Congress has a hands-on approach to trade
development and advocacy and works in tandem with the Florida Trade program
sponsored by the State of Florida by assisting small and minority companies
to establish business linkages between Miami, Florida and the global
marketplace.
The Congress has a year long program of activities which
culminates in the 4-day event, where businesses can meet over 22 countries in
4 days. As such, the Hemispheric Congress has enabled the development of
linkages which have translated into the creation of jobs and revenue for our
community and State. The dates for the 35th Hemispheric Congress are from
June 2-5, 2014 at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida.
CAMARA DE COMERCIO LATINA DE LOS
ESTADOS UNIDOS (CAMACOL).
Chamber
History
The Latin Chamber of Commerce of the United States, CAMACOL is
the largest Hispanic business organization in the State of Florida and one of
the most influential minority business groups in the United States.
For nearly five decades, CAMACOL's mission is to foster the
entrepreneurial spirit of Florida's Hispanic and minority communities, and as
such, it conducts programs to strengthen local business activity, promote
economic development, facilitate international commerce, and serve the civic
needs of the community and state.
Through its Hemispheric Congress, its flagship program, CAMACOL
has provided businesses with the opportunity of establishing commercial
linkages in the domestic and international marketplace for more than three
decades. As such, through its Hemispheric Congress, whose mission is to link
businesses throughout the globe, promote Miami Dade County and the State of
Florida as the Gateway State, CAMACOL has provided the business community
with the opportunity of establishing commercial linkages in the international
marketplace.
CAMACOL works with our community leaders and partners on local,
statewide and national and international level to ensure that our economy
recovers and grows. Our programs focus on fostering job creation, retention
and development.
In essence CAMACOL's mission as an economic developer is to
develop and strengthen the small and minority business sectors and to
facilitate activities that foster economic growth and jobs.
As mentioned, currently CAMACOL manages many programs; however,
the following are three major economic and business development programs:
The Hemispheric Congress of Latin Chambers of Commerce and
Industy
The track record of the Hemispheric Congress comprises a 36 year
history as an international business forum and network of the national chambers
of commerce throughout the Latin American and Caribbean region and their
counterparts in the United States. As such, the Hemispheric Congress
spearheaded the free trade movement and was a catalyst of sweeping changes on
economic integration, which have revolutionized international trade landscape
of today.
The founders of the Hemispheric Congress had the foresight to
envision an established international business forum and information network
with two straight forward objectives: The promotion of private enterprise and
the strengthening of the democratization process. Consolidated concepts with
one united voice that has ardently advocated for the enactment of bilateral
and multilateral free trade legislation, economic integration and
democratization through support of the free trade process.
Innovative leadership and commitment to the principles of free
market and democratization have been iconic guidelines of the Hemispheric
Congress. Since its inception the Congress has facilitated policies and reforms
which advocate for the private sector within the parameters of economic and
social responsibility; sustainable development through responsible commercial
activity.
