  • Empowering business.
  • Building community.

We foster meaningful connections, business growth and cross-border collaboration between the United States and Southeast Europe.

Through networking, education and strategic partnerships, we are building a stronger future, together.

Mission and vision

To become the premier business bridge between the United States and the Balkan region.

What we set out to do

Promote trade and investment between the U.S. and the Balkans, support Balkan businesses entering the U.S., and support U.S. businesses expanding into the region.

How we see the region

As one strategic economic region rather than fragmented national markets, with a strong Balkan business network across North America.
