Since 2005, the American Chamber of Commerce in Albania (AmCham) is a member of the AmChams in Europe (ACE), the European Council of AmChams in Europe. ACE was established in 1963 and is an umbrella organization that brings together 44 AmChams, which jointly represent the interests of more than 17,000 American and European companies, employing 20 million employees and accounting for more than $1.1 trillion in investment on both sides of the Atlantic. ACE strives to communicate the importance of the transatlantic economy in both Europe and the United States.
The Chamber also accredits the American Chambers of Commerce (AmChams) all around the world. AmChams are independent, non-governmental business associations formed to advance the interests and views of U.S. business overseas, to uphold the highest standards of commercial practice, and to interpret the point of view of other countries to the American business public. Through AmChams, business people of the United States and host countries come together and promote their mutual interests.
