The Chamber is working on its Action Plan consisting of four distinctive and complimentary facets: business promotion (industrial, small business and tourism) public affairs (education, politics, legislation,business opportunities) community life (transport,traffic,education,organisation) while working on developing its internal structure (recruiting,action plan,elections, administration).

Since its beginning, the Chamber has played a major role in several social and economic projects:
