Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU)
A nonprofit comprised of policy experts, strategic advisors, and trade educators, BCIU offers bespoke commercial diplomacy services to the world’s governments and leading organizations, from Fortune 100 companies to global investors and multilateral institutions. Since 1955, we have worked to shape the future by growing international understanding and helping address the world’s most complex challenges. We believe that the expansion of trade, commerce, and people-to-people relationships enables business and government to thrive and society to flourish. Every day, global power structures change, new problems emerge, and competition rises. In this fluid environment, our dynamic ecosystem of policymakers, industry leaders, and global citizens are consistently pro-active: facilitating ideas, forging partnerships, and adding value for all stakeholders.

Purpose

Thriving economies are connected economies built on the strength of links between business, government, organizations, and institutions. A strategic partner for global businesses and governments, BCIU helps build the infrastructure of a thriving world by facilitating relationships, partnerships, and international understanding.
