European Union Chamber of Commerce in China Home

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China was founded in 2000 by 51 member companies that shared a goal of establishing a common voice for the various business sectors of the European Union and European businesses operating in China. It is a members-driven, non-profit, fee-based organisation with a core structure of 26 Working Groups and 9 Fora representing European business in China.


EC Meeting


The European Chamber now has more than 1,700 members in 7 chapters operating in 9 cities: Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenyang, South China (Guangzhou and Shenzhen), Southwest China (Chengdu, Chongqing) and Tianjin. Each chapter is managed at the local level by local boards reporting directly to the Executive Committee. A company must purchase an additional membership(s), offered at a discounted rate, if it wishes to be a member and enjoy Chamber services in more than one location. The Advisory Council which includes the CEOs and presidents of some of the largest EU companies with investments in China, influences the priorities and line of action to be taken by the Chamber by providing advice on its strategic direction.


The Chamber is recognised by the European Commission and the Chinese Authorities as the official voice of European business in China. It is recognised as a Foreign Chamber of Commerce with the Ministry of Commerce and China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.


The European Chamber is part of the growing network of European Business Organisations (EBO). This network connects European business associations and chambers of commerce located in 51 third markets around the world.
