Who we are
The Singaporean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (SGC) is one of the largest business chambers in Singapore, with members spanning a wide range of industries and businesses from both Germany and Singapore. As part of a global network of 150 German Chambers of Industry and Commerce in 93 countries, the SGC plays a central role in fostering bilateral trade and economic collaboration between Germany and Singapore, providing valuable support to businesses from both nations.
The SGC is a valuable and well-established networking platform, well connected with authorities in Singapore and Germany, and offers its members access to exclusive networking events, publications, and opportunities to engage in our active industry committees. By facilitating these connections, SGC gives a voice to businesses and serves as a trusted resource for companies looking to strengthen their ties in the German and Singaporean markets and explore new business opportunities.
Besides this, the Chamber - particularly through its distinct service unit DEinternational - provides a variety of services, including trade fairs and business development, such as business matchmaking, organising delegations, market research, and recruitment services.
In addition, the SGC is part of the official foreign trade promotion of the Federal Republic of Germany and fulfils public obligations, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
Founded in 2004 as a non-profit organisation, the SGC 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.
