Memberships

Introduction


The UK business relationship with China is as important as it has ever been – as UK prepares for BREXIT and China embarks on a period of more sustained growth. After 30 years of rapid expansion, the opportunities for UK enterprises to engage, partner and share mutually beneficial growth with Chinese counterparts continue to expand.


BritCham is a membership organisation for businesses focused on boosting UK-China trade and investment. We operate as an independent, not-for-profit organisation with a strong and diverse membership base representing UK companies in China as well as Chinese companies dealing with UK businesses. Through our membership programme, we have helped thousands of companies to understand the market opportunities awaiting them, to engage with Chinese counterparts, and to build their businesses in China. We organize events on a monthly basis such as our monthly members only breakfast briefings, signature events like Summer Garden Party as well as other member exclusive events etc. We also have 10 active forums (both sector-specific and cross-cutting), providing members an opportunity to network, share knowledge as well as become an active part of the business community.


Becoming a member of the British Chamber of Commerce in China means you will be joining a network of business leaders and industry experts. From big multinationals to small start-ups, companies join our membership programme to network with experienced peers, to develop strategies for expansion, and to contribute to policy development.


Grow and Develop Your Business Network in China


Through our membership programme, we have helped thousands of companies to understand the market opportunities awaiting them, to engage with Chinese counterparts, and to build their businesses in China.


We are also committed to creating an organisation that is inclusive for Chinese businesses. Becoming a member of the British Chamber of Commerce is a great way to engage with British business, whether they are established in China, starting out, or visiting the country as part of a business delegation.
