The Finnish American Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1948 to protect, develop, encourage, promote and foster trade, business, financial or professional interests and commercial relations between Finland and the United States. The Chamber also strives to foster a more enlarged and friendly relationship between businesses interested or active in trade between Finland and United States, as well as to afford opportunities for its members to extend and continue social, cultural and educational activities on a strictly non-political, non-partisan basis for mutual benefit.
