Irish Chamber of Commerce, Singapore

What Irish Chamber of Commerce, Singapore does

The Irish Chamber of Commerce Singapore is a non-profit professional network organization founded in 1992 and headquartered at Ireland House, Liat Towers, Singapore. It operates as the institutional intermediary connecting Irish business professionals and companies with the Singapore and broader Asia Pacific market, delivering value through a calendar of business events, networking platforms, a corporate membership directory, and digital communications. The Chamber runs an innovative event-driven program with signature series including First Friday Breakfast (co-hosted at the Embassy of Ireland), compliance forums, and cross-cultural sessions such as Dutch-Irish Connect Over Coffee.

The Chamber's core technology is Glueup, a third-party SaaS event management platform that powers event registration, membership management, the member directory, the Jobs Board, and newsletter distribution. It does not develop proprietary technology; its product surface comprises a Membership Directory, an Events and Networking Platform, a News and Newsletter Service, a Jobs Board, and a Publications and Resources repository containing government and trade-association documents. The Chamber is governed by an elected President and Board, with Grainne McNamara assuming the presidency on 3 June 2026 for the 2026/27 term, succeeding Joan O'Shea.

Revenue is generated through three streams: annual membership fees (one calendar year term with no refunds for early cancellation), event registration fees (paid in full upon registration, no refunds), and a tiered sponsorship program (Foundation, Emerald, Gold) that provides recurring revenue and visibility benefits. The Chamber is supported by high-profile sponsors across aviation, food and beverage, education, professional services, and quantum computing sectors, and maintains a formal operational relationship with the Embassy of Ireland in Singapore. As of June 2026, the Chamber had delivered 42 events with over 3,000 attendees in the past 12 months and collaborated with 14 partner organisations across the region.

Direct peers

• French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Singapore (FCCI): French national chamber in Singapore offering membership services, business events, and bilingual networking to French and Francophone professionals and companies. Directly comparable in scope and event-driven model to the Irish Chamber.
• British Chamber of Commerce Singapore: Singapore-based national chamber serving British professionals and companies, offering membership, networking events, and tiered sponsorship. Closest direct analog to the Irish Chamber by structure, customer model, and event-driven GTM, but serves the larger British community.
• American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Singapore: One of the largest foreign chambers in Singapore, serving US professionals and companies with membership, events, advocacy, and tiered sponsorship. Operates the same business networking and trade-facilitation model as the Irish Chamber at much greater scale.
• Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (ANZCC) Singapore: Chamber representing Australian and New Zealand businesses and professionals in Singapore, delivering membership, events, and sponsorship opportunities. Strongly comparable to the Irish Chamber in national-community focus and event cadence.

Operates the same membership/event/sponsorship framework as the Irish Chamber with a larger German community footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Singapore Business Federation: The peak national business chamber in Singapore, representing the broader domestic business community rather than a single foreign national community. Serves as a wider incumbent against which foreign chambers (including the Irish Chamber) position their differentiated value to overseas members.
