A landmark partnership to unlock a multitude of opportunities for South African companies to foster economic growth and bolster bilateral relations between South Africa and the United States of America have been established between the South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA (SACCUSA) and the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI).

The collaboration was solidified during a meeting between Mr. Mtho Xulu, President of SACCI, and Mr. Neil Diamond, President of SACCUSA. By joining forces, the two chambers are now in a position to access bi-national investment opportunities and create a conducive environment for mutually beneficial ventures.

One of the key benefits of this partnership lies in the exchange of bankable projects. Through this collaboration, businesses from both countries can explore and invest in viable projects, promoting economic development and job creation.

The exchange of ideas and initiatives will undoubtedly fuel innovation and drive sustainable growth. The vision is to capitalise on shared strengths, resources, and networks, and then forge stronger business ties and economic cooperation between South Africa and the United States.

The SACCUSA Board is grateful for the visionary leadership and commitment of Mr Mtho Xulu and Mr Neil Diamond to foster and establish a successful business ecosystem. Their dedication and efforts have paved the way for this historic partnership. Companies, entrepreneurs, and investors from both countries are welcome to contact them and become part of the vast potential this collaboration presents
