The initiative responds to a scenario in which that companies face profound transformations in the way they produce, trade and relate to international markets, driven by the artificial intelligence, the reconfiguration of global value chains, the growth of trade in services and greater geopolitical fragmentation.
Faced with this context, the Council seeks to articulate good practices, share knowledge, generate business opportunities and build projects collaborative that allow the cameras to anticipate these transformations and strengthen the competitiveness of their companies and territories.

During its initial stage, CCCAM will concentrate its work on five fronts: commercial promotion and business services; connectivity, events and positioning; commercial knowledge and intelligence; cooperation international and alliances; and hemispheric policy and advocacy, in addition of initiatives aimed at chamber transformation and sustainability institutional.
Among the programs planned for 2026-2027 are the Wheels of Hemispheric Business, the CCCAM Summit, Institutional Trade Missions, Sector Reports, the Business Climate Barometer, Alliances Strategic Multilaterals and the Regional Value Chains Table.
The governance of the Council will be supported by a General Assembly, a Board of Directors and an Executive Directorate, under the principle of “one chamber, one vote”, regardless of its size, number of members or capacity economic.
September 22 will thus mark the launch and constitution act of the CCCAM in Bogotá, while on September 23 its first General Assembly, in which progress will be made in the installation of its governing bodies and at the beginning of the execution of their programs.
