Caribbean Excellence

NOS ORIGINES

The Caribbean Chamber of Commerce in Europe (CCCE) is a multi-lateral, non-for-profit, business services organisation, registered as an ‘A.I.S.B.L.’ (Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif) under Belgian corporate and commercial law (company no.: BE.0737.42.078). 

OUR ORIGINS

CCCE was founded by a team of business professionals from Belgium, France and the Netherlands working in the private sector, in response of to the need for market information and support for an independent, non-politically aligned, private sector led organisation that provides Caribbean companies with logistical support for business development in the UK/Europe.

OUR MISSION

CCCE endavours to promote investment from the UK/Europe to stimulate economic growth for the Caribbean, as there continues to be a need to bundle our strengths and to bring the Caribbean brand to the forefront of both public- and private sector organisations and businesses in Europe. This can only be be achieved through consistent and comprehensive promotional efforts, across any political divide and language barriers that are inherent to our diverse region.
