Singapore Chamber of Commerce Vietnam

What Singapore Chamber of Commerce Vietnam does

Singapore Chamber of Commerce Vietnam (SingCham) is a non-profit bilateral business chamber founded in 1992 to serve Singaporean-affiliated and international companies operating in Vietnam. Its core activities are member convening, market intelligence, and corporate networking, delivered through a recurring calendar of seminars, business dialogues, and social events. The chamber is headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City with a second office in Hanoi, the latter established following the 2023 merger with the Singapore Business Association of Vietnam (SBAV), which consolidated the two principal Singapore-Vietnam business bodies in the country.

The chamber is funded through three revenue streams: tiered individual and corporate membership fees, multi-tier event sponsorship (Platinum/Gold/Silver packages), and per-attendee event fees. Named corporate members and sponsors span financial services (HSBC, UOB, CIMB), professional services (Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Baker McKenzie), real estate and industrial parks (CapitaLand, Keppel, Mapletree, VSIP), energy (ACEN), e-commerce (Shopee), and hospitality (Ascott), providing diversified exposure across the Singaporean corporate footprint in Vietnam. The chamber operates a 24-person secretariat and runs an Education Fund that has served approximately 3,000 students since 2001.

Strategic positioning has expanded beyond bilateral trade promotion into broader ASEAN engagement and emerging vertical themes. Recent partnerships include co-hosting ASEAN Chambers Networking 2026 with the Myanmar Business Club, the Indonesian Chamber in Vietnam, and ThaiCham; AI-focused forums with ISCA Vietnam, CBILaw, CIO Vietnam, and UOB FinLab; and a digital infrastructure partnership with Viettel Solutions. These initiatives indicate a deliberate broadening of programming into regional convening, digital trust, and sustainability, although the chamber itself does not develop AI or technology products.
