Founded in 1861, the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce is the oldest yet most dynamic business organisation in Hong Kong. Their members represent a broad spectrum of local, Mainland Chinese, and international businesses. More than half of the flagship corporations listed on the Hang Seng Index are members. Combined, their membership, from renowned multinationals to thriving SMEs, employs around one-third of the local workforce. The Chamber serves as the voice of business, and they help its members succeed through their core functions: advocacy, knowledge-based events, networking, and a variety of business documentation services.

The Chamber also places great importance on community engagement. Established in 2001, the Business-School Partnership Programme provides a platform for students, teachers, and businesses to exchange and communicate with each other while preparing students to gain more understanding of the commercial world.
