Goals / Remit
The American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) was founded in 1993 in Bratislava as an independent and self-supporting organization, entirely dependant on contributions from its members. Today, it serves as one of the most active foreign Chambers of Commerce in Slovakia. Currently, its membership has reached more than 330 international and Slovak companies, including many of the largest and important firms in Slovakia. Of this amount, approximately 23 % are American companies, about 42 % are Slovak companies and about 35 % are other nationalities. AmCham Slovakia has frequently shown that it is dedicated to serving its members through the support of its three main pillars: contacts, information and advocacy.

Communication activities
AmCham Committees, Working Groups and Task Forces focus their activities on monitoring and evaluating the legislative and business environment in the Slovak Republic. Many of their activities involve commenting on and proposing changes to drafts of legislation prepared by the government. Sometimes the Committees or Task Forces cooperate directly with the Slovak government on drafting new legislation. They try to supply AmCham member companies with useful information and advice in a particular area. In order to share ideas and strategies for dealing with common business-related concerns, some committees actively cooperate with other AmChams in the region.
Following is a brief description of AmCham Slovakia's working standing committees:
•Civil Code Task Force
•Committee on Business-Academic Cooperation
•Digital Committee
•Employment and Social Affairs Committee
•Energy Committee
•Health Care Committee
•Public Procurement Task Force
•Rule of Law Initiative
