What does the Chamber do?
The Mallorca Chamber of Commerce is a corporation governed by public law. It was founded on 29th September, 1886 to promote the economic and business development of companies within its territorial remit offering them different services and thereby fulfilling its public administration function assigned to it by law. It is managed by the same companies who represent the different business sectors on the island and operates as a consulting and collaborative entity, liaising with various public administration bodies.
The Chamber defends the business interests of all Mallorcan companies primarily by promoting their competitiveness and internationalisation processes, putting into practice training programmes to facilitate the employment of young people, carrying out arbitration and mediation to settle disputes between companies, encouraging and supporting the creation of new start-ups and carrying out projects in particular sectors and areas.
