About us - Atlanta Hub

The Atlanta chapter of the Belgian American Chamber of Commerce was founded in Atlanta with the vision to be the catalyst to enable Belgian-American entrepreneurs to learn, grow and communicate, leading to greater business success and an enriched personal life. We engage our members through a variety of events with themes of learning, culture and networking. We understand this is an integral part of your success to feel home in Atlanta. For Belgian American entrepreneurs, new to the Atlanta area, we provide useful information to simplify your transition to Atlanta. For those familiar with Atlanta, we want to enrich your experience by bringing you closer to the Atlanta community.

Atlanta Metropolis and Corporate Connections

Through the efforts of state organizations like Georgia Allies, the state's public-private economic development coalition, Georgia has sustained the momentum and remained a popular candidate for international expansion, relocation or entry into the US marketplace. As the hometown of corporate heavyweights like Coco-Cola, Georgia Pacific and AFLAC, Georgia has long been viewed as a strong prospect for international investment. The 1996 Olympics raised the internationals profile and served as a catalyst for unprecedented growth in Georgia's international business portfolio.

European-based companies, for example, have an undeniable stake in the future of Georgia's economy. A study by Georgia Allies shows that companies from 21 European countries now comprise over 70 percent of all foreign business investment in the Peach state. European business investments now make up more than 2,500 facilities throughout Georgia in industries that range from manufacturing to finance.

Our Deal Team will assist with new and existing entrepreneurs with areas ranging from logistics, legal – corporate and labor law, tax arena, information technology, marketing and commercial & private sector real estate matters.
