Assalam-o-Alaikum and greetings,
It is my honor to welcome you to the Pakistan American Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce (PACCC). Our Chamber was created with a simple, powerful purpose: to connect the entrepreneurial energy of the Pakistani diaspora with the vast opportunities of the American Midwest—so businesses can grow faster, partnerships can form more easily, and prosperity can be shared more widely.
PACCC stands for practical support and trusted connections. We help members:
- Build relationships through curated networking and B2B matchmaking
- Navigate regulations and market-entry steps with reliable guidance
- Explore trade and investment through delegations and sector roundtables
- Learn and upskill via workshops, mentorship, and executive briefings
- Showcase products and services to buyers, distributors, and investors
Our values—integrity, transparency, inclusivity, and service—guide everything we do. We are committed to opening doors for SMEs and startups, championing women and youth entrepreneurs, and strengthening ties between Chicago’s dynamic economy and Pakistan’s fast-growing sectors such as IT, textiles, food processing, healthcare, logistics, and green solutions.
In the coming year, PACCC will focus on:
- Launching member councils and a mentorship network
- Running a calendar of market-briefing events and business clinics
- Organizing trade missions and buyer–seller meets
- Publishing a digital member directory to increase visibility and deal flow
- Hosting policy dialogues to make it easier to do business across borders
This Chamber is your platform. I invite business owners, professionals, investors, and community leaders to join us as members, partners, and sponsors. Your participation, ideas, and leadership will shape PACCC’s impact and help create a stronger Pakistan–U.S. business corridor from right here in Chicagoland.
Thank you for your trust and support. I look forward to working with you.
Warm regards,
Naveed Anwar
President, Pakistan American Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce (PACCC)
