British Argentine Chamber of Commerce

What British Argentine Chamber of Commerce does

The British Argentine Chamber of Commerce (BACC) is a non-profit bilateral chamber of commerce founded in 1994-1995 and headquartered at 65 Brook Street, Mayfair, London. It operates as a membership-based trade facilitation body dedicated to promoting UK-Argentine business relationships, serving UK companies seeking Argentine market access and Argentine exporters (particularly wineries, luxury travel operators, hospitality brands, food producers, and provincial governments) seeking UK distribution and investment partners. Core services span tiered membership (a free BACC Follower tier and a paid Corporate/Sponsor tier), flagship annual trade missions (Curated Argentina, Argentina Day at LME Week, Argentina-UK Energy Trade Mission), the Argentine Wine & Travel Club as a structured sub-brand, high-touch networking events at the Argentine Embassy and British Embassy venues, sector-focused webinars, and knowledge products including the UK-Argentina Bilateral Trade & Investment White Paper 2024-25. BACC sits on the Council of Foreign Chambers of Commerce in the UK (CFCC) board and partners with institutional bodies including ProMendoza, Fundación Salta, Impulsa Mendoza, Wines of Argentina, KPMG, PUENTE, Integra Capital, SOBAL, and the Argentine and British Embassies.

BACC generates revenue through three streams: recurring membership fees (BACC Follower free + Corporate/Sponsor paid, billed annually with pricing not publicly disclosed), event and trade mission fees (ticketed and sponsored participation in flagship programmes and webinars at approximately USD 100 for non-members), and knowledge products (gated White Paper downloads and resource access). The go-to-market motion is event-driven, anchored by flagship trade missions and Argentina Day at LME Week, supplemented by a content programme, a weekly newsletter, and an active LinkedIn presence. The chamber employs 13 people and operates across London and Edinburgh in the UK and Mendoza, Buenos Aires, Salta, and Patagonia in Argentina, with growing international reach through partnerships such as the Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce. There are no technology products, proprietary platforms, AI/ML capabilities, or patents; the core 'product' is the curated bilateral network and convening power built over 30 years.
