The Irish Chamber of Commerce Singapore was established in 2010 as the successor to the Irish Business Association, which was founded in 1992.
Today, the Chamber is one of Singapore's most active international business networks, connecting professionals, entrepreneurs, executives and organisations across Singapore, Ireland and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
Our mission is to strengthen business relationships, foster meaningful connections, support professional development, and create opportunities for our members to grow personally and professionally. Through a diverse programme of events, partnerships and initiatives, we bring together leaders from across industries to share insights, build relationships and contribute to the success of our community.
Our Community
With more than 400 members and a growing network of partners, sponsors and supporters, the Irish Chamber serves as a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing and business opportunity. We are proud to support a diverse community spanning multiple industries, career stages and nationalities, united by a shared commitment to connection, collaboration and growth.
"I am delighted to serve as Patron of the Irish Chamber of Commerce in Singapore which encapsulates two crucial aspects of the relationship between the Emerald Isle and the Little Red Dot: namely Our People and Our Prosperity.
Ireland and Singapore are both societies which look out to the world beyond our shores and our prosperity is based on a long standing investment in our people and an open globalised approach to trade and investment. These similar traits make us natural partners, whether as importers of each other's products and services, or sites of regional expansion for indigenous or multinational companies. Each member of the Chamber - personal or corporate - is part of that and I know in the years ahead the numbers of members and business connections will only increase.
People are at the heart of what we do as an Embassy. The Chamber - in particular through its networking events - plays an important role in building and sustaining connections between our diaspora (the active and diverse Irish community here in Singapore) and our affinity diaspora (Singaporeans and others based here who have links to or an affinity for Ireland) and I look forward to working to strengthen those.
Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine - We live in the shelter of each other. "
