A Federation United by Purpose
The Dominican Federation of Chambers and Organizations Abroad is the first international entity strategically designed to coordinate, strengthen, and invigorate the global network of chambers of commerce, trade associations, and business organizations within the Dominican diaspora. Through a comprehensive collaborative ecosystem, our federation drives the growth of Dominican-led businesses abroad, fosters bilateral trade, facilitates the attraction of investment to the Dominican Republic, and promotes business excellence through training programs, institutional strengthening, and trade association representation.
We have two fundamental goals: first, to serve as a voice for the business and professional sectors, translating our members’ shared ideas into concrete initiatives; second, to optimize the effectiveness of specific products or service categories to generate value for both the organization and all its members.
