Alphabet joins AmCham Russia

Alphabet has become an official member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia (AmCham Russia) – one of the largest, leading foreign business associations in Russia. Founded in 1994, AmCham stands for the interests of major U.S. corporations and Russian, European, and Asian companies.

AmCham's mission is to further the development of a stable market environment that is conducive to doing business in Russia. AmCham acts as an indispensable forum for discussing issues and seeking constructive solutions between business leaders and politicians, while furthering the business interests of the association's members, promoting the creation in Russia of favourable conditions for entrepreneurial activity, and maintaining regular dialogue with the governments of the Russian Federation and the United States.

For Alphabet clients, this means further opportunities: representation of their interests on AmCham committees, access to the Chamber's analytical studies and tools, and broader prospects for working with the international business community.
