The Associação Comercial do Amazonas is a historic business institution based in Manaus. On its official history page, it says it was founded in 1871, at a time when Manaus was still a small provincial city beginning to expand as a regional trading center.
According to the association, its mission is to defend the interests of commerce, industry, and services in Amazonas. Its institutional materials also present it as a meeting point for business leadership and a supporter of initiatives connected to economic development in the state.
