The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) founded the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC) in 1991, after which it has evolved into a biennial convention held in different parts of the world.  The WCEC is a meaningful global forum for Chinese entrepreneurs to strengthen economic cooperation and mutual understanding.  It is also a momentous event for the global ethnic Chinese community.  In 2011, the 11th WCEC will once again be hosted by the SCCCI. It has come one full circle; at the same time it signifies the beginning of a new journey. 

In the twenty years that have elapsed between the 1st WCEC in 1991 and the 11th WCEC to be organised in 2011, the world has already undergone a political and economic sea-change.  The rise of the Asian economies, the accelerated development of China and India, has shifted the world’s focus to Asia; at the same time, it has deepened and widened the sphere of influence for Chinese enterprises around the world.  This is an entirely new scenario, replete with fresh challenges and new business opportunities.

Under the broad theme of New Global Environment ● New Chinese Enterprise ● New Impetus, the programme will include concurrent panel discussions and an exhibition which will showcase Technology, Wealth Management, Education and Urban Solutions.
