Building Collaborative Bridges: Highlights from the 10th Transpacific Entrepreneurial Conference

On January 23, 2024, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Macao (CCCM), was honored to actively participate in the 10th TransPacific Entrepreneurial Conference hosted by CanCham HK and the Hong Kong Canada Business Association. Our dedicated President, Dr. Howard Stribbell, joined us in attendance, further enriching our engagement at this significant event.

The conference served as a valuable platform to exchange information, foster closer commercial ties, and promote collaboration among the 200 delegates from the Greater Bay Area, Canada, and Asia. We had the privilege of sharing insights on investment opportunities, wealth management, startups, biotech, energy transition, sustainability, and AI.

During the event, held on January 23, 2024, we had the opportunity to learn from esteemed industry leaders from Asia, whose experiences and knowledge inspired us. We gained valuable insights into global business trends and innovation through roundtable discussions and specialized speakers. Active participation and engaging discussions added a vibrant atmosphere to the conference, fostering a collaborative environment.

The 10th Trans-Pacific Entrepreneurial Conference played a pivotal role in nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship in the Trans-Pacific region. We extend our sincere gratitude to CanCham HK for graciously inviting us and providing us with the opportunity to engage in fruitful discussions and exchange experiences.

What a Magical InterCham Christmas Party!

We are still basking in the warm glow of our incredible Christmas event on December 1st, 2023! We are delighted to welcome ICC and MECC as they join our annual InterChamber event for the first time, where seven chambers (AmCham, AustCham, Britcham, CanCham, FMCC, MECC, ICC) united to create an unforgettable evening of connection, networking, and delightful experiences. From the exquisite food and fine wine to the captivating music and meticulously organized events, it was a night to remember.

This Christmas party was more than just a celebration of the holiday season. It provided a fantastic opportunity for networking and fostering meaningful connections. Witnessing professionals from various chambers come together was truly uplifting, as they engaged in dynamic idea-sharing and built valuable relationships through networking.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The International School of Macao’s Crescendo Choir for their enchanting performance, which added an extra touch of magic to the festivities.

The joy and laughter that filled the air wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our amazing sponsors. We want to express our special thanks to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited, St. Regis Macao, and Sheraton Grand Macao for their unwavering support and generous contributions. We are overwhelmed with gratitude as we extend our deepest appreciation to Melco for their incredibly generous sponsored gift, valued at almost 30,000 MOP!

From the twinkling lights to the joyful carols, this event truly embodied the holiday spirit. We would like to thank all who attended this year’s Christmas event and made it a resounding success. We can’t wait to welcome even more of you next time!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

InterChamber Christmas Party 2022

Just as we break for the holidays, CanCham celebrates the season and end of year along with our co-hosts at the annual Inter-Chamber Christmas Party along with AmCham, AustCham, BritCham, and FCCC (French Chamber). 

No cold weather or rain could keep more than 150 of our members and guest from sharing the good company, good food, wine, and song.  We stayed cozied and warm in the new Chinnery ballroom at the Artyzen Grand Lapa, we enjoyed the sweet Christmas tunes brought by more than 40 children from the TIS Crescendo Choir.  Led by Ms. Doreen Stribbell, the Choir Director, our singers sang with such confidence and joy, they kicked off the evening by bringing the good Christmas cheers to us all.

Our Chambers leaders gather to toast for another year as we look ahead to a year of greater connections in 2023.  Dr. Howard Stribbell, President of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Macao makes his address with thanks and great hope for the new year. 

We introduce Ms. Joyce Francis (Chan) as she takes over from Ms. Lizy Yu as the new Executive Director for the CanCham Macao, and we thank Ms. Yu for her work with the chamber.
