Business Associations & Trade Groups
HKTDC The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) is a new organisation formed on 1 April 2002 to serve as the apex business chamber in Singapore and to advance and promote business networking and co-operation amongst business communities in Singapore and abroad.
SICC The Singapore International Chamber of Commerce (SICC) is the oldest Chamber of Commerce in Asia and the oldest commercial organisation in Singapore and today counts among its members business enterprises operated by over 40 nationalities.
SCCCI The SCCCI, originally known as the "General Chinese Trade Affairs Association", was officially established in 1906 to look after the interests of the businesses and the welfare of the local Chinese community. The Association's name was changed to "Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce" in 1921. In 1977, the SCCCI was renamed "Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry".
SMCCI The Chamber was formed by a group of Malay businessmen who pooled themselves together to establish a strong bond between themselves in order to provide information, to assist and cooperate and to create confidence among themselves. It was later decided to get as many Malay businessmen in this group and thus the formation of the Chamber.
SICCI The history of SICCI began in 1924 when "The Indian Merchants Association" was founded with 30 members. In 1935, it became "The Indian Chamber of Commerce" and today the Chamber has over 500 members and is one of the five founding members of the Singapore Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (SFCCI).
