British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei

British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (BCCTaipei) is a value-adding resource that champions the business and social interests of its members in Taiwan. Made up of large and small corporations, individuals, and overseas associations, BCCTaipei is a strong and cosmopolitan mixture of successful enterprises in diverse industries.
BCCTaipei acts as a key resource for UK companies interested in the Taiwan market by ensuring that businesses, especially SMEs, have a direct line to assistance and networks. They provide landing pad services and offer a united but unbiased commercial perspective on all issues affecting British business interests in Taiwan, and Taiwan business interests in the UK.
BCCTaipei provides a broad range of membership activities and events including business networking opportunities and free-for-member Talent Development Workshops. BCCTaipei also has a number of Signature Events including the St Andrew's Ball, Charity Golf and Football Tournaments, and the Christmas Charity Auction. We also have a number of specific events, large and small, throughout the year focusing on CSR, Young Professional Development and Women in Business.
The Chamber is housed inside the British Office and shares a very close relationship to the Foreign Office, Department for Business & Trade and the British Council, and holds periodic joint events with other foreign chambers.
In conjunction with membership activities, BCCTaipei has donated over 18 million NT dollars to local Taiwanese charities, and has an active programme to support the CSR initiatives of its members in Taiwan.

Summary

Announcement 📢📢

14/10/2021


It is with great regret that, due to prevailing pandemic prevention measures, which restrict close contact through dancing, and associated planning constraints, we're forced to announce the cancellation of this year's St Andrew's Ball.

 

We understand that this will cause a great deal of disappointment within the community since the ball is usually a highlight of the Taiwan social calendar.

 

We sincerely look forward to a return to times when smiles can be readily seen, hands held, swirls swung, and feet flung!

 

We currently anticipate that our next major event, the Christmas Charity Auction Luncheon, will proceed as planned, and we fully expect to return to hosting our annual celebration of Scottish culture next year.

 

In the meantime, we wish all our supporters and the wider community, a healthy and happy close-out to the year. We hope to see you soon.


Best, 


BCCT Team

The St. Andrew's Ball is a major event on Taipei's annual social calendar that honours Scotland's patron saint, and attracts a large gathering of people every year from the local and international community including business and government leaders. It has earned a reputation as the best Ball in Taiwan, and arguably one of the best in the region.

The event provides a great opportunity for organisations to promote their brand prior to and during the event. In addition, by taking a table at the event it provides a unique way for organisations to host potential clients or reward staff for good work.


We celebrate Scottish Culture, specifically Scottish food (with a traditional Haggis ceremony), whisky & wine, and music & dance – with a Scottish piper and a dance band flown in especially for the event. Free dance classes are held in the lead up to the Ball and are in themselves social events that provide a build-up to the big night. Every year, we have approximately 350-400 attendees joining us. 



*Note: Due to COVID 19, we will need all guests to fill in the Travel and Health Declaration online during registration. This is for all the participant's health safety and follows the Local Taiwan regulations. Thank you for your understanding in advance.
