Trade Associations & Chambers (TACs)

Introduction

Trade Association Hub launched to help boost growth of companies

“Trade Associations and Chambers, or TACs, are aggregators and multipliers in our business eco-system… and a valued partner of the Government. The TA Hub is not just a brick-and-mortar space. It will also help build a stronger TAC community, and cultivate a culture of mutual support and collaboration… and help Singapore companies do well in the future economy.”
-- Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Official Opening of Trade Association Hub, November 2017

In line with the Government’s plan to transform industries, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) has launched an industry transformation map and initiated a Trade Association (TA) Hub for trade associations.

Officially opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on 22 November 2017, the Trade Association Hub at Jurong Town Hall will bring together Trade Associations and Chambers to play a proactive role in leading the transformation of local industries and enterprises in Singapore.

Cross-Industry Collaborations

The TA Hub fosters a collaborative ecosystem whereby TAs:
1.   share resources and programmes (e.g. specialized skills training)
2.   extend specific industry expertise (e.g. logistics solutions) to other industries
3.   cluster together (where synergies exist) to drive productivity gains across multiple industries

Currently, more than 150 trade associations are members of the SCCCI, of which over 30 are located at the TA Hub.

Overview

Under the S$4.5 billion Industry Transformation Programme, roadmaps had been developed for 23 industries to address issues within each industry and deepen partnerships between Government, firms, industries, trade associations and chambers.

The Future Economy Council (FEC) takes overall responsibility for the implementation of the ITMs. To do so the FEC has 6 sub-committees, with each sub-committee overseeing a group of ITMs within the same broad cluster of industries.
