The Australia–Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (the Chamber) is pleased to inform you that we have developed a strategic alliance/partnership with the newly-established Singapore Business Circle to better service the business ties between both countries.

This alliance will pave the way to ensuring that there is a single organisation in Australia working to promote closer commercial ties between both countries.

The Chamber welcomes the closer links with the newly-formed Singapore Business Circle which is within the Group of the widely respected Trans-Tasman Business Circle.

The Circle’s members in Australia and New Zealand as well as Singapore are reaching out with closer business ties to each other and have requested a dedicated programme of engagement between our markets. This has resulted in the establishment of the Singapore Business Circle.

The Singapore Business Circle will progressively incorporate the membership, events and business liaison of the Chamber.

Promoting closer ties within Singapore and between Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Israel and the region.
