World Chinese
Entrepreneurs Convention(WCEC)

In 1991, the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention was first conceptualised and organised by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, providing a platform for overseas Chinese entrepreneurs to enhance economic cooperation and promote better understanding amongst Chinese entrepreneurs worldwide. Being apolitical in nature, its mission is to focus on economic and cultural issues pertaining to Chinese entrepreneurship.

In 1993, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong and the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce formed the Founder Members Board to ensure the continuity of the WCEC. In 1999, the WCEC Secretariat was set up and rotated amongst the three Founder Members to ensure the smooth organisation of the Convention.

Starting from Singapore, the WCEC was held in Hong Kong, Thailand, Canada, Australia, Nanjing China, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan and the Philippines. In 2011, WCEC returned to Singapore and went on to Chengdu China, Indonesia, Myanmar and Britain.

The WCEC has created limitless potential as it can open up many exciting opportunities around the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. It serves as an important channel to build up economic relations and amass the strength of Chinese entrepreneurs globally with the ultimate goal of establishing a feasible and beneficial business cooperation network.
