ABOUT NEPCHAM  

The Nepalese presence in Hong Kong began in the 1960s, when members of the British Army's Gurkha Brigade were stationed in the city. After the handover in June 1997, the British Government and the Gurkha Brigade withdrew form Hong Kong. Gurkhas and their families, however, were granted the right of residence in Hong Kong. Today, the Nepalese population in Hong Kong is estimated at around 40,000, representing roughly 4% of the city's ethnic minority community.

         ​ ​Recognizing the need for a collective voice, the Nepal Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong (NEPCHAM) was established in March 2008 under the guidance of the Consul General of Nepal and a group of visionary Nepalese entrepreneurs. Its mission is to promote, represent, and safeguard the interests of Nepalese businesses in Hong Kong. 

​ ​          The Consul General of Nepal serves as Chief Patron, ensuring close collaboration between NEPCHAM and the Nepal Consulate. Since its establishment, NEPCHAM has evolved into a dynamic, non-profit, member-driven organization with a membership base exceeding 270. It serves as a vital bridge between the Nepalese business community and the Government of the Hong Kong SAR. Over the years, the Chamber has significantly expanded its scope and influence, emerging as a leading platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and business promotion.

  ​         NEPCHAM regularly organizes a diverse range of events, including seminars, workshops, business meetings, luncheons, and informal gatherings, designed to foster collaboration and keep members informed of the latest developments. It has built strong relationships with government institutions and various business organizations in Hong Kong, while actively promoting trade and investment ties between Nepal, Hong Kong, mainland China, and the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

         ​Through these initiatives, NEPCHAM provides the Nepalese business community with a credible and effective platform to integrate into Hong Kong's broader economic landscape. It continues to play a crucial role in empowering entrepreneurs, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that Nepalese businesses are recognized as an integral part of Hong Kong's vibrant and diverse economy.
