7月1 8日，新加坡中华总商会与我市部分区县、园区、开放平台代表现场签署合作备忘录，将积极推荐旗下具有合作潜力的会员企业、商业团体与重庆开展经贸合作与交流。

7月18日，新加坡中华总商会企业发展与服务中心重庆代表处（以下简称“重庆代表处”）揭牌成立。这家成立逾百年的商会设立在中国的第二个代表处落子重庆，将助力中新互联互通项目实现“加速跑”。

中新两国第三个政府间合作项目—中新（重庆）战略性互联互通示范项目，以“现代互联互通和现代服务经济”为主题，聚焦金融服务、航空产业、交通物流、信息通信四大重点领域，自2016年1月8日实质性启动以来，取得积极成效。中新（重庆）战略性互联互通示范项目管理局局长韩宝昌在揭牌仪式上介绍，目前，一批创新举措相继落地，签约一百多个重点项目，总金额近两百亿美元。

新加坡中华总商会成立于1906年，是新加坡历史悠久的商业团体，是新加坡华商华社的最高领导机构，也是全球华商的重要组成部分。长期以来，总商会发挥在资金、技术、管理、商业网络等方面优势，在中国各地投资兴业，为推动中新合作与交流作出了重要贡献。目前，总商会拥有约160个商业团体会员和5000名商号会员，第一个中国代表处于2010年在上海成立。

韩宝昌说，重庆具有政策、交通、区位等方面优势。去年，国家各部委也出台了47条措施支持中新项目落地重庆。配合中新（重庆）战略性互联互通示范项目持续推进，新加坡中华总商会在重庆设立中国第二个代表处，将帮助重庆“引进来”“走出去”，协助更多新加坡商家拓展中国西部市场，并融入重庆的商业环境。

新设立的重庆代表处将提供两大类服务：一方面为有意开拓中国西部市场的新加坡企业提供落地计划的咨询；另一方面为有意到新加坡设立区域总部并将业务辐射至东南亚的中国企业进行对接。

新加坡中华总商会旗下优质企业云集，揭牌仪式当天，有四十余家新加坡企业抱团前来，与我市部分区县、园区、开放平台，交流、对接发展机遇。新加坡中华总商会与我市部分区县、园区、开放平台代表现场签署了合作备忘录，将积极推荐旗下具有合作潜力的会员企业、商业团体与重庆开展经贸合作与交流；积极向旗下会员企业推介中新示范项目及重庆投资环境，并引导有实力的新加坡企业到重庆投资。

7月19日—21日，重庆代表处率领约二十家企业在重庆进行考察。“我们了解到大足区的电动车产业发展蓬勃，新加坡的电动车零件与相关企业可进行对接；丰都鬼城的旅游资源相当丰富，我们也希望借助新加坡的旅游经营管理经验，共同合作开发主题公园等项目。”重庆代表处主任陈玉凤向记者表示，重庆的38个区县具备各自优势，新加坡最大的优势是技术、资金和管理，以及法制完善、合规性强，可以保障投资安全。通过重庆代表处的桥梁纽带作用，可将重庆的优势产业推介到东南亚地区。
