Since the late 19th century, when Chinese people left mainland China, they are now spread across almost every corner of the world. Most of them have established small-scale businesses in their host countries. Some of them have expanded or diversified their businesses, and some have even become business empires with multinational industries.
Although the diligence and wisdom of Chinese entrepreneurs are renowned around the world, there is still a need for a platform to bring together the opinions and strengths of many famous Chinese entrepreneurs. Therefore, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry initiated the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention to provide a forum for Chinese businessmen and business communities around the world to strengthen economic cooperation and promote mutual understanding. As a non-political forum, its mission focuses on economic and cultural topics that are suitable for Chinese businessmen.
