What EuroCham Myanmar does

EuroCham Myanmar, formally the European Chamber of Commerce in Myanmar, is a non-profit membership-based chamber of commerce founded in September 2015 and headquartered at Times City, Office Tower No. 2, 18th Floor in Kamayut Township, Yangon. The organization represents approximately 150 European companies operating across Myanmar in sectors including garment, consumer goods, logistics, energy, health, agrobusiness, and professional services. It functions as the collective voice of European business vis-à-vis Myanmar policymakers, UMFCCI, the EU Delegation to Myanmar, and ASEAN stakeholders, and is co-funded by the European Union alongside membership fee income.

The chamber's core service portfolio comprises advocacy representation through 11 sectoral advocacy groups (Energy, Construction, Agri-Food, Health, Logistics, Legal & Tax, Consumer Goods, Automotive, Garment, Wine & Spirits, and Digital), a Business Center for market entry and operational support, an IPR Helpdesk, and two working groups (HR and Sustainability/CSR). It produces a Bi-monthly Business Confidence Survey, an annual White Book of policy recommendations presented to the Myanmar government, and the EuroMatters newsletter. It also runs the EMAITI (EuroCham Myanmar Anti-Illicit Trade Initiative), formalized in 2020 under an MoU with TRACIT, and a Job Board plus an events platform for member networking. Supporting members include Luther Myanmar (Platinum) and a roster of Gold members such as Bestseller, Carlsberg, DB Schenker, De Heus, DKSH, H&M, Heineken, Javelin Services, Lidl, and Unilever.

EuroCham Myanmar generates revenue primarily through annual recurring membership fees across Platinum, Gold, Silver, and (since February 2022) Affiliate tiers, supplemented by EU co-funding. Its go-to-market is community-led, centered on direct engagement with European companies already present in or entering Myanmar. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors; leadership transitioned in 2025-2026, with Dominique Nicolas Jung appointed Chairman in January 2026 succeeding Adrian Short, while Karina Ufert serves as Executive Director and Gerdien Velink's departure as Head of Operations and Business Growth concluded a six-year tenure in March 2026.
