About DutchCham
The Dutch Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong is a non-profit organisation, representing companies of all sizes, who have a stake in developing trade between the Netherlands, Hong Kong and Asia.
The events held with other Chambers of Commerce has substantially increased, providing our members with a forum to exchange ideas and expand their network. Our activities include breakfast meetings, lunches, seminars, workshops and informal cocktail events.
Through its role in the strategic discussions that shape Hong Kong's business environment, the Chamber strives to further develop its relationship with government institutions and to strengthen its ties with other Chambers of Commerce in Hong Kong, as well as organisations in mainland China and the Netherlands.
In addition, the Chamber publishes the DutchCham Magazine and the annual Business Directory, both of which are free to members. The Directory is an essential guide to business, listing our members' details, both corporate and individual. The profiles of our corporate members, their contact details and a link to their websites are listed on our website. Event listings and the latest news is also available at www.dutchchamber.hk
History
The Dutch Chamber of Commerce is an independent, non-profit organisation. The Chamber was officially established in 1991, as the Dutch Business Association, with the objective of representing the wider Dutch business community in Hong Kong. The Chamber's role includes the promotion and expansion of commercial relations between the Netherlands, Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China.
DutchCham enjoys deep relationships with Hong Kong government institutions and the city's other business groups. This network provides a true platform that has seen the Dutch business community become a fundamental part of the wider Hong Kong business community.
The Chamber gives voice to the individual needs of companies and common concerns to Hong Kong's leadership through the International Business Community, chaired by the Chief Secretary of the HKSAR.
DutchCham has more than 480 individual members representing more than 180 companies in Hong Kong and mainland China - a community of about 4,000 people.
