Who we are

The Chamber was originally founded in 1998 as the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce of North Carolina.
      In 2002, recognizing an increasing presence of Swedish business in South Carolina, the name was changed to Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce of the Carolinas, Inc.
      As the 17th chamber to join the national organization of SACC-USA, we are one of the fastest-growing chambers in the U.S. Find out how to become a member today!
