European American Initiative

In November 2009, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, the San Diego French Chamber of Commerce, the German American Chamber of Commerce California, and the German Honorary Consul in San Diego came together to foster European American Business Relations.

European American Business Mixer

In 2010 the Chambers of Commerce from France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and San Diego joint forces and host a series of Business Mixers to promote trade between Europe and the United States.

European American events are unique

The feedback to our European American Business Mixer is different than to other events. This mixer does not only open new interesting business relations. The guests enjoy especially the European ambiance of this unique event. And they love to meet like minded business people. If you would check one hour after the mixer, after the bar is closed and most of the people are gone ... you can still find little groups involved in lively discussions. Where else can you find a piece of Europe in San Diego?
