The World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC) was first conceptualised and organised by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) in 1991 to provide an apolitical forum to enhance economic cooperation and promote understanding amongst Chinese entrepreneurs worldwide. 

In 1991, the SCCCI, The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong and the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce formed the Founder Members Board to ensure the continuity of the WCEC. Subsequently, the WCEC Secretariat was set up to operate as the central liaison point and coordinating centre for matters relating to the WCEC; it liaises with the host organisation of each WCEC in ensuring the smooth organisation of the Convention. The WCEC Secretariat is rotated amongst the three Founder Members with each operating on a 6-year term. The SCCCI hosts the current WCEC Secretariat.

The World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC) is an apolitical, non-profit platform that does not offer incentives of any kind in exchange for financial support. The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) hosts the current WCEC Secretariat. The WCEC Founder Members Board comprises of SCCCI, The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong and the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

In 2023, the 16th WCEC is the only official WCEC Convention endorsed by the WCEC Founder Members. The 16th WCEC will be organised by Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, from 24-26 June 2023 at Bangkok, Thailand. We would also like to advise delegates to be cautious of social media posts and phishing websites that appear similar to our official website.
