OUR MISSION

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai is the pre-eminent member driven organization supporting Canadian business and community interests. CanCham informs and promotes Canadian interests in Eastern China and fosters connections within the Canadian business community and with its Chinese counterparts.

OUR HISTORY

CanCham Shanghai was founded in 1996 by a group of locally-based Canadian companies and entrepreneurs under the name of the Canadian Business Forum (CBF) with the support of the Consulate General of Canada in Shanghai. In June 2008, CanCham was officially inaugurated in name.

OUR MEMBERS

Our membership consists of Canada-China joint ventures and wholly-owned Canadian companies, ranging from some of the largest and best-recognized corporations to medium and small-sized enterprises, representing a rich variety of industries.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Canadian Chamber is led by a board 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 in China’s business scene.
