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.

Yes. As the COVID-19 situation in Taiwan has escalated since mid-May, many companies' plans have been disrupted or strained in reaching their targets. Nonetheless, we still encourage you to apply for the Awards. You may specify your initial plan and some programme as evidence from the pre-pandemic phase on the application form. Our judges will sympathise with your circumstances.
