Dear Members and Friends

As a local Singapore Chamber with an international focus, we have been building relationships with other chambers to benefit you. We have announced these one by one as we have signed Memoranda of Understanding. The most recent is with the Brooklyn Chamber.

This week we want to remind you of all these beneficial collaborations. They are beneficial for you because they can serve as “a home away from home” when you visit the respective countries. For example, you can attend events at our fraternal chamber’s members’ rate and interact with businesspeople to gain local knowledge and insights. For the full list of existing collaborations, please visit https://sicc.com.sg/about/international-collaborations/.

While we are on the subject of beneficial collaborations, our Board Director Brenda Harvey, Managing Director, Industrial for IBM, is based in New York City and is always willing to meet fellow members when you’re in town. Several of you visited Brenda last year and benefited from doing so. Brenda is also willing to facilitate connections and meetings with her wide network if you give her enough notice. You can contact Brenda at blharvey@us.ibm.com.

Building further on this theme, this is a good time to remind you of the Collaboration Portal on our web site for you to tap into the ecosystem with an edge formed by you and your fellow members. State your collaboration need and we will help boost your post.

Last, but by no means least, if you have a collaboration you are proud of, please submit a nomination for the 2024 SICC Awards for Collaborative Innovation. Full details of the award categories and nomination forms may be found at www.siccawards.com.sg.

Have a great week ahead.

Yours faithfully
Victor Mills
Chief Executive
