California Trade Missions

California Chamber Trade and Investment Missions

As California steps further into the international market, we’ll be there. Over the years, CalChamber delegations have participated in the state’s trade and investment missions to China, Tokyo, London, Mexico City, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Taipei and Johannesburg.

Members and CalChamber officials also have participated in international trade events in Expo ’86 in Vancouver, Expo ’88 in Brisbane, Expo ’10 in Shanghai, Japan, Korea, Tai​wan, the People’s Republic of China, and the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Further, CalChamber Board members and officials have accompanied six California Governors to various worldwide destinations, including Mexico City to discuss the North American Free Trade Agreement, Canada, Japan, Southeast Asia, China, Europe and Australia.
