Mandate

The Singaporean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (SGC) was established in 2004. The SGC, a not for profit organisation, has been tasked to promote bilateral Germany-Singapore trade, advise German and Singaporean companies on investment and market opportunities in Singapore and Germany, respectively, and assist these companies in developing international business contacts. This mandate includes the provision of market research, the production and dissemination of publications, and coaching and advisory issues.

SGC member companies are also provided with specialised services, such as subscriptions to newsletters and access to special business meetings and events.

In addition to our membership services, we also fulfil public obligations, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy. The offices of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce abroad do carry out important tasks on behalf of the German government - tasks which would otherwise have to be implemented by state institutions, such as the embassies.
