World Chambers of Entrepreneurship for Economic Development (WenCHAM)

Entrepreneurship is increasingly global, yet many entrepreneurs still build their companies in isolation, with limited access to trusted international networks, experienced peers, and platforms that can support their expansion beyond local ecosystems.

To address this gap, WenCHAM – World Chambers of Entrepreneurship for Economic Development was established as a global platform dedicated to strengthening entrepreneurship ecosystems and connecting capable entrepreneurs across borders.

More than an organisation, WenCHAM is a global movement designed to empower founders, foster collaboration, and support entrepreneurial diplomacy that enables access to new markets, partnerships, and opportunities.

Through its national chambers and international community, WenCHAM aims to:

  • Cultivate qualified entrepreneurs
  • Facilitate cross-border cooperation
  • Strengthen international business relationships
  • Contribute to sustainable economic development
WenCHAM operates under the umbrella of the World Business Angels Investment Forum (WBAF), an affiliated partner of the G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI), reinforcing its commitment to advancing entrepreneurship, financial inclusion, and global economic progress.
Membership in WenCHAM connects you not only to entrepreneurs, but also to institutions, investors, policymakers, and global ecosystem partners.

Together, we are shaping a future where entrepreneurs are recognised as key contributors to economic growth, innovation, and global cooperation.

In this context, it is my great pleasure to invite you to apply for WenCHAM membership and become part of a growing global movement dedicated to strengthening entrepreneurship worldwide.

We are looking forward to welcoming visionary entrepreneurs such as yourself and to work together in building stronger bridges between entrepreneurial communities across the world.

With warm regards,
