Singapore is Asia's leading technology and upcoming finance hub, which means that it's also home and host to a wide range of Chambers of Commerce from across the world. There are 16 Chambers of Commerce in Singapore.

A chamber of commerce is an organization that promote the interests of their local business and members. Chambers of commerce provide access to valuable resources, discounts, and relationships that help businesses and individuals.

The New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (Singapore) has been operating since 1983.  Growing from a base of around 50 members, from many industries and from different nationalities, we are an embracing and dynamic Chamber. Our vision is to develop a New Zealand hub in Singapore by creating a community of people and business in Singapore who are interested in and connected to New Zealand. We do this through facilitation of a range of business, educational and social events.

We have different membership options to suit your needs so that you can Connect, Promote, and Grow.
