Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida, Inc. (BACCF)

What Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida, Inc. (BACCF) does

The Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida, Inc. (BACCF) is an independent, Florida-incorporated non-profit chamber of commerce founded in 1981 and headquartered in Miami. It operates as a bilateral trade-promotion organization whose stated mission is to increase trade and investment between Brazil and Florida, serving as a structured intermediary for member companies on both sides of the corridor. Members include a mix of Brazilian firms with U.S. operations (BB Americas Bank, Embraer, Itaú, Bradesco, Itaminas, Fogo de Chão, Brazilian Fruits) and U.S. firms with Brazil-facing practices (Shutts & Bowen, Piquet Law Firm, New York Life, Boeing), spanning financial services, aerospace, legal, mining, logistics, hospitality, and trade promotion.

The core product is a tiered membership (Trustee and Patron) granting access to a published directory, networking events, and trade resources. Programmatic offerings include the flagship annual Independence Gala Dinner, the 3-day immersion seminar 'Como Ingressar no Mercado Norte-Americano,' recurring Feijoada and Business Card Exchange events, networking happy hours, and Brazil-side Road Shows in Goiânia, São Paulo, and Fortaleza. Differentiated content assets include 'O Prático,' a Portuguese-language market-entry guide produced jointly with the Brazilian Consulate General in Miami (1,000+ printed copies), the Florida-Brazil Trade Report, and the BACCF Quarterly Economic Report. Member engagement is organized through eight standing committees (Membership, Programs, Business & Innovation, GRC, Young Professionals, Businesswomen's, Communications, Finance).

BACCF's operating footprint is small — approximately 15 staff — with a P.O. Box mailing address. Revenue is generated through annual membership dues, event registrations, and a tiered sponsorship structure (Diamond, Platinum, Silver) for the gala and other programs, supplemented by marketing/sponsorship packages. Distribution combines a GrowthZone-hosted member portal, Constant Contact email, presence on LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram, and event-driven member engagement; no API, mobile app, or advanced technology stack is disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• International Chamber of Commerce: The world's largest business organization, with a global network of national committees. BACCF functions at a micro-bilateral scale analogous to ICC's national committee model, providing local business-to-business facilitation services.
• Council of the Americas / Americas Society: Hemispheric business organization promoting trade, investment, and policy dialogue across the Americas. Comparable member base of multinational corporates with Brazil exposure, and comparable convening function—though at a broader regional level.
• U.S. Chamber of Commerce: The largest business federation in the United States, representing broad cross-industry interests. BACCF is a niche bilateral version of this concept, with the U.S. Chamber providing policy, advocacy, and networking infrastructure at a national scale that dwarfs any regional chamber.

Direct peers

• Câmara Americana de Comércio (AmCham Brasil): Brazil's leading American chamber of commerce, representing U.S. business interests in Brazil. Operates as the mirror organization to BACCF, with comparable bilateral trade facilitation services, events, and corporate membership model.
• Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce (New York): Direct bilateral peer founded in 1967, serving as the primary Brazil-U.S. business convener on the East Coast. Comparable mission of facilitating Brazil-U.S. trade and investment, with a similar membership, events, and trade promotion model—BACCF is its Florida counterpart.

Regional players

• The Beacon Council: Miami-Dade County's official public-private economic development partnership. Overlaps with BACCF on trade promotion, foreign investment attraction, and Brazil-specific inbound business activity, but at the county-wide rather than bilateral country level.
• World Trade Center Miami: Miami-based trade promotion and international business organization with a similar focus on connecting local companies to global markets. Comparable events, trade missions, and member services targeting the South Florida trade ecosystem.
• Enterprise Florida: Florida's statewide public-private economic development organization. Overlaps with BACCF on inbound foreign investment promotion, particularly Brazilian capital targeting Florida, though at the state level rather than country-specific.
• Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce: The largest broad-based chamber of commerce in the Miami market, offering membership, networking events, and policy advocacy. BACCF operates as a specialized vertical within the same geography and competes for overlapping SMB membership and event sponsorships.

Others

• ApexBrasil: Brazil's federal trade and investment promotion agency. Already a BACCF Trustee Member; comparable in mission around Brazil-Florida trade promotion but functions as a government agency rather than membership chamber.
