Andorran Chamber of Commerce Highlights 2025 Achievements and 2026 Priorities

The Andorran Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services has released its 2025 annual review, emphasising the consolidation of key projects, new initiatives to bolster business support in a changing economic landscape, and strategic priorities for 2026 under its 2024-2030 plan.

A major highlight was the establishment of the Espai Dona i Empresa platform, which unites accomplished female professionals to promote visibility, networking and women's leadership through events, training and institutional collaborations. Key activities featured strategic talks on the hospitality industry, workshops on labour law from a gender perspective, and the "Elles lideren" podcast produced with RTVA to spotlight chamber board members.

Digital transformation emerged as a core pillar, with 17 training courses on emerging technologies and artificial intelligence attracting 280 participants. The Programa de Digitalització d'Empreses expanded its advisory offerings and digital solution deployments, helping firms navigate increasingly tech-driven competition.

General training programmes reached 1,019 people via 78 courses, while the advisory service fielded 342 queries, mostly on business setup, operational requirements and local regulations. Administrative support included processing 124 ATA carnets for temporary exports, handling 217 customs requests and compiling 42 census budgets.

Commerce and tourism stayed in focus, with the Observatori del Comerç using visitor surveys to shape initiatives like the Festa del Comerç and a Tokyo retail mission. The Consell del Sector Privat del Turisme pushed for immigration reforms and expanded seasonal worker quotas to address labour shortages.

The chamber stepped up oversight of EU association agreement negotiations, holding regular meetings with the State Secretary for European Affairs, submitting technical input from Brussels and organising sector forums to relay private-sector input.

Additional successes involved alternative dispute resolution tools and youth job schemes, both with strong uptake.

Looking to 2026, priorities include advancing digitalisation for better competitiveness, evaluating EU agreement impacts, fostering innovation and international expansion, drawing investments, and promoting sustainability to build a more diverse and robust economy.
