MECC is the first affiliation of European Chambers in the Macau SAR which aims to promote commercial, industrial, financial, scientific and other economic exchanges of all types between Macau and Europe, as well as to foster bilateral cooperation among the business communities, thereby helping diversify Macau’s economy. The Chamber also serves as a platform of communication for its Members to express their interests and coordinate with each other.

Other members consist of organizations such as The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macau, The Austrian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong & Macau, and individuals with an interest in developing friendly commercial relations between European countries and Macau.
