Our Founding Story: A Chamber Born of Legacy and Vision
In a time of rising global complexity and economic imbalance, a bold idea emerged: What if the ancient civilizations of India, the Arab World, and Africa could reconnect—not just culturally, but economically and strategically—to reshape the future of global trade?
That idea became the seed of the Indo-Arab & African Chamber of Commerce (IAACC).
Founded in 2025 by visionary diplomats, entrepreneurs, impact investors, and policy strategists, IAACC was not born in a boardroom—but in conversations that spanned three continents. Conversations between royal advisors and startup founders, between ministers and youth entrepreneurs, between those who understood that the next chapter of prosperity wouldn’t come from the West or the East, but from the Global South rising together.
The mission was clear: to create a powerful platform that could bridge the historical trade routes of the Silk Road, the Indian Ocean corridor, and the Trans-Saharan network—into a modern, future-ready powerhouse.
From Dubai to Delhi, from Lagos to Riyadh, our founding committee built more than just a chamber. They built a visionary movement—one that now includes members from over 77 nations, representing a combined GDP of $10 trillion and a population of over 3 billion people.
IAACC’s founding wasn’t just an institutional act—it was a declaration: that partnerships between governments and businesses can restore economic dignity, empower entrepreneurs, and rewrite the global growth narrative.
Today, IAACC stands not as a gatekeeper, but as a gateway—a living platform that welcomes:
- Governments who want to facilitate trade and attract FDI
- Corporates and SMEs looking to expand into high-growth regions
- Entrepreneurs and innovators ready to lead the next wave of transformation
Our story is still being written—and we invite you to be part of it.
