Ecuador has five American Chambers of Commerce, i.e. AmChams. They are located in Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Ambato, and Manta.

The AmChams are independent and non-profit business organizations that provide an important link between the private sector and the Ecuadorian government, and also to the United States Embassy in Ecuador. AmCham’s provide important services to businesses that serve the American market, including networking, government relations, trade events, commercial information resources, and more.
