The Asian American Chamber of Commerce of Illinois (AACCIL) promotes Asian American-owned businesses in all industries across the state and beyond.  We offer pro bono consulting and matchmaking services for disadvantaged entrepreneurs and those seeking to do business with them.  AACCIL facilitates partnerships between public, private, non-profit, and educational institutions to increase access to capital, resources, and opportunities for local Asian American communities.

Established in 2020, during the height of the pandemic, the founders of AACCIL recognized the demand for a Pan Asian organization that could identify and raise awareness about the needs of Asian American entrepreneurs and connect them financial and technical assistance for the their businesses throughout Illinois.

One in ten U.S. businesses is Asian-owned and Asians are the fastest growing ethnic group in the country. The strength of the U.S. economy depends on the success of Asian American businesses. At AACCIL, we are making connections between small businesses and large corporations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations with the shared goal of ensuring that all entrepreneurs have access to the tools and support they need to survive and thrive.
