Small Business B(AI)sics is a national initiative from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, supported by Google, that equips small businesses with practical, foundational AI skills to help them grow, stay competitive, and contribute to stronger local economies.
Through this partnership, participating chambers will play a vital role in delivering hands‑on, accessible AI training tailored to the real-world needs of local entrepreneurs. As trusted community institutions, state and local chambers are uniquely positioned to meet small businesses where they are and support entrepreneurs across Main Street America on their AI journey.
To support these efforts, the U.S. Chamber Foundation will provide implementation partners with programmatic support, resources, and technical assistance to host in‑person training sessions in their communities. These workshops are designed for entrepreneurs and small businesses of all backgrounds, with no prior technical experience required.
