WELCOME TO THE
At the height of the 2020 global pandemic, the South Asian American Chamber of Commerce was established due to the lack of resources available when it came to the Illinois South Asian business community. Although the business community had been well established for over 50 years, the need for a centralized support system was needed in order to provide entrepreneurs within all industries either technical assistance, education for financial assistance or creating opportunities for growth through networking and partnerships.
