The Greater Philadelphia region has seen remarkable growth and change over the last several years. Just as our region and business community have continuously evolved, the Chamber has progressed alongside them.  

Last year, under the leadership of Chellie Cameron, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and with support from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the Chamber embarked on a strategic planning process to redefine and align with our “true north.” 

As a result, the Chamber has oriented around our new five-year strategic plan called Chamber 2028: Amplify. Advocate. Grow., or abbr. Chamber 2028, to ensure we meet the needs of our members and region.  

Our Bold Vision for Greater Philadelphia

Central to Chamber 2028 is our vision: the Greater Philadelphia region is a top global destination for business and a leader in inclusive growth.  

This vision will inspire and guide the Chamber’s work over the next five years. We will continue to engage and collaborate with our members, investors, and stakeholders to drive the positive impact of business and growth in our region. Together, we will use our collective voice to amplify the impact of these outcomes and shape a global reputation for Greater Philadelphia as a great place to live, work, and do business.  

What Makes Greater Philadelphia a Top Global Destination for Business?

“Greater Philadelphia has world-class assets, including an innovative life sciences sector, a fast-growing startup ecosystem, and an increasing number of college graduates. It’s time that we showcase our regional strengths to the global business community and welcome new opportunities for growth and innovation to our region,” said Chellie Cameron, President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chamber.  

What Does Inclusive Growth Mean for Our Region?

“Inclusive economic growth in our region is the key to sustainable prosperity. It means creating an environment where all businesses, regardless of size or background, can thrive. By fostering diversity, promoting fair competition, and eliminating barriers, we not only boost our region’s economic potential but also enhance its global competitiveness,” said Kenneth Anderson, Vice President, Civic Affairs, the Chamber. “Inclusive growth isn’t just a strategy; it’s the foundation for a thriving business ecosystem and a brighter economic future for our region.” 

Strategic Priorities to Propel Our Work

In support of our vision, we have identified three enduring strategic priorities that represent our high-level areas of focus: 

  • Amplify the impact of business in the region;  
  • Advocate for a competitive business climate;  
  • Grow a vibrant and diverse business community.  

Maximizing our impact on the region remains our priority. The Chamber has already operationalized Chamber 2028 through the creation of several initiatives designed to execute our strategic priorities, guide efforts, and measure progress.
