World Chambers Competition

The World Chambers Competition is the only global award that recognises the most innovative projects undertaken by chambers of commerce and industry. In highlighting the success of local initiatives, the Competition serves to inspire the creation of pioneering and beneficial chamber solutions for business communities worldwide. Until 2023, we have received more than 750 projects. 

2025 World Chambers Competition

The 2025 edition will feature 5 categories:

Best chamber innovation project

• Recognising chambers that have worked with the Chamber Model Innovation (CMI) framework or that are pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovation, enhance effectiveness and deliver value-added services to members and stakeholders.

Best out-of-the-box project

• Recognising chambers that have developed unique and pioneering innovative projects in an activity not typically associated with their everyday mission and objectives, while increasing job creation and enhancing local economies.

Best green transition project

• Recognising chambers that have taken proactive steps to advance green transition projects . Whether through innovative technologies, strategic partnerships, policy interventions, or community engagement, these projects should showcase tangible results in reducing pollution, preserving natural resources for people and our planet while supporting economic prosperity.

Best collaboration of chambers, business and government project

• Recognising chambers that have partnered with government and business on projects to evolve, build and grow economies. These can be innovative, one-off projects to solve a particular problem or longer-term projects to build sustainable foundations and/or systems.

Best diversity and inclusion project

• Recognising chambers that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within their projects. These initiatives should champion equity, celebrate diversity, and promote inclusivity across various dimensions, including but not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, disability, and socioeconomic background.

We expect to open applications towards September 2024. Stay tuned for further updates on the 2025 World Chambers Competition via our communication channels.
