NEW INTERNATIONAL SA

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

PLATFORM LAUNCHED

South African chambers from across the

globe have joined forces to create the
International Association of South African
Chambers of Commerce (IASACC).

Jason Lamb, board member of the
South African Chamber in Singapore
and EXCO member of the South

African Chamber in the UK said, “This
has been a long time coming and in
February 2023 we decided to bring

chambers from Singapore, Korea,
Mauritius, UK and Dubai together on a call to discuss the idea of putting this platform
together. There was lots of excitement, and everyone agreed to join and start this

great initiative.”

Most of the South African chambers of commerce or business councils have similar

purposes, goals and strategies. By opening the communication lines across the SA
chambers globally, the IASACC will enable board members and members to share
experiences, knowledge, expertise and ultimately give our members access to a

broader network and community.

We all have a special connection back to our country and currently all South African

chambers create a platform for South Africans living abroad to connect, facilitate trade
and investment, help with relocation, promote tourism and of cause get together
over a braai. The IASACC will build on this purpose, and we will work with each other

and the various government entities to enhance business and trade relations with
our international partners.

For more information, please reach out to your local SA chamber of commerce or
business council or if you have any questions on the IASACC, please contact Jason
Lamb at jason.lamb@ip-im.com
