Singapore Business Federation (Abbreviation: SBF; Chinese: 新加坡工商联合总会; Malay: Persekutuan Perniagaan Singapura; Tamil: சிங்கப்பூர் தொழில் சம்மேளனம்) is the apex business chamber in Singapore.[1][2][3] SBF aims to improve the organisation of the business community in Singapore[4] and represent it both locally and abroad.[5][6][7][8]
SBF was formed on 1 April 2002[9] as the successor to the Singapore Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry,[5] which had consisted of five business chambers and associations in Singapore.[10] SBF has compulsory membership,[4][5][11] unlike its predecessor which had struggled financially as a result of voluntary membership.[4] As of December 2020, SBF has 27,200 members,[12] including both companies and business chambers.[2][7] SBF carries out events such as talks and dialogue sessions for its members, and provides them with various business networks.[13]
