Houssem Eddine Touil is my first international guest on Chamber Chat Podcast. Houssem is the President of the Tunsia Estonia Chamber of Commerce and he is also the Founder of Clecow which is a digital consulting agency with a goal of connecting local organizations worldwide.

It is under the scope of Clecow that Houssem set out to collect data and conduct interviews with influential Chamber leaders across the world to produce the 2021 Global Chamber Index.

The Global Chamber Index is a digital publication to explore the findings from the surveys that were conducted to learn how the COVID-19 pandemic has effected Chambers worldwide and to help chart the direction moving forward.

In our discussion Houssem shared several key findings from their surveys such as the percentage of growth for certain Chambers through the pandemic. One surprising piece of data was that 45% of Chamber members (from the Chambers who participated) are women-led.

Some of the findings are on par for what someone in the Chamber world would expect, while others are eye-opening. I would encourage you to look through these findings in the 2021 Global Chamber Index and be on the lookout for an invitation to participate in the 2022 edition.
