The Norwegian-American Chamber of Commerce Philadelphia (NACCP), is the most recent addition to the long standing, non-profit, member organization formed "to promote trade, create business opportunities, professional relationships, and goodwill between Norway and the United States of America, to advance the common purposes of its members, and to facilitate contact among its members." These objectives and the spirit behind them are so fundamentally important as to be unchanged despite the passing of two world wars and periods of economic, financial and political upheaval that affected trade between the two countries. NACC has substantially influenced the development of trade between Norway and the United States and now NACCP will take an active role in expanding the scope of Norwegian business activities in the greater Philadelphia area.
