our mission

Our mission is to cultivate business connections, collaboration, and community between Chicago, the broader Midwest, and Israel.

We are building a community of businesses and individuals interested in networking, cross-border business collaboration between the U.S. and Israel, and potential investment opportunities.

Since the signing of the U.S.-Israel Free Trade Agreement in 1985, the Israeli economy has undergone a dramatic transformation from low-end manufacturing and agriculture to a cutting-edge high-tech environment. The time is now to participate – and we are building a community of businesses and individuals to do just that.

  • Israeli firms represent the second-largest source of foreign listings on the NASDAQ.
  • Two-way trade in goods reached $31.5 billion USD in 2021.
  • Extensive commercial ties, particularly in high-tech and R&D.
  • $41.3 billion USA foreign direct investment (FDI) in Israel in 2021.
  • $40.4 billion Israel FDI in USA in 2020.

We are a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit business association, founded in 1958, that connects its members into a global network that provides vital information and facilitates business contacts.

Cultivate business connections, collaboration, and community between Chicago, the broader Midwest, and Israel.  Learn more about the AICC.
