What is the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai?

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai is the pre-eminent member driven organization supporting Canadian business and community interests. It was founded in 1996 by a group of locally-based Canadian companies and entrepreneurs with the support of the Consulate General of Canada in Shanghai, and was officially inaugurated in name in June 2008. CanCham informs and promotes Canadian interests in Eastern China and fosters connections within the Canadian business community and with its Chinese counterparts.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai is led by a Board of Directors composed of 11 elected directors and 1 ex-officio director. The directors are either Canadian MNCs’ representatives or Canadian entrepreneurs running their own business in China. They represent Canadian industrial diversity and strength on the business scene in China.

Board members are responsible for forming and driving the policies as well as providing guidance on all the activities of the Chamber.

The Advisory Council complements the knowledge and skills of the Board of Directors. It contributes to the effective governance of the Chamber and strengthens relationships with leaders in the Canadian business community in China.

The Executive arm of the Chamber takes care of the daily operations. If you require any assistance regarding our events, promotional platforms or services, you may contact any one of our team members.
