Who we are

The Belgian Canadian Business Chamber (BCBC) is the voice of the Belgian Canadian business community in Canada. 

Through targeted networking events in Toronto and in Montreal, we foster contacts and relationships for our members and partners, which come from a variety of sectors.

Our Story


The Belgian Canadian Business Chamber (BCBC) is a pivotal non-profit organization, dedicated for over 35 years to enhancing economic ties between Belgium and Canada. We are not just a business network; we are a dynamic platform where members from diverse sectors converge, sharing expertise and fostering innovation. We collaborate closely with the Embassy of Belgium in Canada, the Consulate General of Belgium in Montreal, the regional Trade Commissioners, and sister organizations, ensuring a comprehensive approach to bilateral relations.

Recognized by the Federation of Belgian Chambers of Commerce, the BCBC has established a significant presence in Toronto and is expanding its influence to Montreal, illustrating its commitment to growing Belgian-Canadian economic and cultural connections. This expansion reflects BCBC's dedication to creating new opportunities and strengthening the community's reach and impact.

The BCBC works to foster contacts and relationships for our members who share an interest in developing business and trade opportunities between Canada and Belgium. Our core values are collaboration, innovation, diversity, growth, sustainability and integrity.
