SCCCI assisted nearly 16,000 businesses in 2025

Advisory, training and regional outreach drove support.

The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) said its services benefited nearly 16,000 businesses in 2025, according to its year in review.

SCCCI said it gathered feedback from the business community on tariff developments and supported the formation of the Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce in April 2025.

Drawing on an annual survey of more than 700 member companies, it also submitted five recommendations for Budget 2026 covering cost pressures, AI adoption, sustainability, skills upgrading and internationalisation.

On regionalisation, SCCCI signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding with The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia and UOB, as well as a separate agreement with Maybank, to support members seeking to expand into the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone and Southeast Asia.

Its SMEICC Conference drew more than 4,000 participants, whilst close to 390 companies were engaged by its representative offices in Shanghai and Chengdu as they ventured into China.

The chamber also expanded support for business transformation. It said 21 trade associations joined its Sustainability Alliance, whose initiatives benefited 546 business participants in 2025. Its TACOM Transformation Centre supported 13 trade associations across more than 25 projects, whilst the Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business trained 1,219 participants after expanding its course offerings to 15 new programmes in areas such as AI, data analytics, cybersecurity and tourism.

Separately, SME Centre@SCCCI handled 4,200 business cases involving 1,600 participants across advisory, capability development, business matching and workshops, which it said represented double-digit growth from the previous year.

The SCCCI Chinese Business Culture Hub also welcomed more than 12,700 visitors and organised 60 community and National Education initiatives

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
