Founded in 2002, the US-Algeria Business Council (USABC) is one of the most prominent and active bilateral business associations operating in Washington, DC. The USABC is a non-profit non-governmental business association composed of Algerian and US companies.

The USABC accomplishes its mission of promoting trade between the United States and Algeria by organizing sector-specific symposia on topics of interest to our members, hosting events featuring Algerian and US officials, and promoting our members products and services through customized matchmaking initiatives.

The creation of the USABC was the result of an Algerian and US business initiative. In 2002, several prominent US and Algerian companies created the Council to fulfill three objectives: to promote the diversification of US-Algeria trade to contribute to the existing trade between the two countries; to orient US companies seeking opportunities in Algeria; and to compliment the trade promotion activities of both governments. Nearly all of the founding members of the USABC remain active today and have played a key role in upgrading the Council to its new level of operations and service.
