The Israel Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ICCP) is an organization of individuals and companies who share a common interest in the pursuit and encouragement of bilateral and investment opportunities between the Philippines and Israel. Organized in 2009, it was transformed from what was formerly the Philippine-Israel Business Association (PIBA). The ICCP is a private, independent and non-profit entity whose mission is to encourage business-to-business networking within the Philippines and bilateral trade between the Philippines and Israel. It aims to serve businesses through the participation of its members in promoting their long-term objectives, while contributing to the civic, social and economic development of the Philippines. The ICCP maintains a close affiliation with the Israel Embassy, whose role is to strengthen bilateral relations with the Philippines and thus serves as part of the foundation of the Chamber. Affiliated with the International Israel Chamber of Commerce, it likewise maintains a close liaison with other foreign chambers in Manila and other Philippine business groups, particularly the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI).
