Welcome to the only chamber born in the very heart of innovation, where the garage‑startup spirit meets global ambition.

The Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce (SVCC), formerly Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce and CVB, was founded to serve the companies and residents surrounding what would become the world’s most inventive square miles.

Incorporated in 1947 to unite post‑war growers, chip pioneers, and the new Santa Clara University tech graduates, the Chamber laid the city’s “business voice” foundation and helped recruit the first wave of semiconductor and defense tenants to the Central Expressway/Bayshore corridor.

From semiconductor pioneers to today’s AI trailblazers, major retailers to our family businesses, the Chamber has been the steady connector between innovators, entrepreneurs and businesses, city and elected leaders, educators, the community, and investors—long before “Silicon Valley” was a household term. Join us to continue the tradition and be catalysts that shape the future for a thriving Silicon Valley for All.

Thanks to our sponsors and donors of the Silicon Valley Works Foundation--- to fund economic development, empowerment, and future of workforce initiatives!
