Our Mission: Bridging Markets, Building Legacies.
The U.S.-Congo Business Chamber (USCBC) serves as the primary platform for U.S.-DRC trade, investment, and diplomatic engagement.
Building lasting bilateral architecture since 2014.
The Genesis of the Chamber
Founded in 2014, the U.S.-Congo Business Chamber emerged from a vital need to create a structured, transparent, and highly effective conduit for bilateral commerce between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the United States. Recognizing the immense untapped potential of Congolese mineral, agricultural, and human resources alongside the world-class capital and technology of American enterprise, our founding mandate was clear: move beyond transactional exchanges to build lasting institutional partnerships.
Over the past decade, our leadership has worked directly with U.S. governors, federal agencies (SBA, Ex-Im Bank, Department of Commerce), DRC ministerial cabinets, and corporate leadership. We act as rigorous translators of relationship capital into durable sovereign agreements, trade corridors, and multi-million dollar transactions.
Junior Bompeti
Founder & President
“Our vision has always been to build bridges of substance, not just of sentiment. The true potential of U.S.-Congo relations lies in rigorous, mutually beneficial economic integration that respects sovereignty while unlocking the transformative power of private enterprise.”
With over a decade of leadership in bilateral commercial diplomacy, Junior Bompeti has spearheaded high-level economic delegations across Washington D.C., Texas, and Kinshasa. His work has connected sovereign authorities, federal agencies, and global corporations to establish durable supply chains and strategic partnerships.
