British Estonian Chamber of Commerce
British Estonian Chamber of Commerce (BECC) is a NGO founded in 1996 with the aim of bringing British and Estonian business communities together within Estonia.[1] Its offices are based in Tallinn, Estonia.
The BECC is a member of the Council of British Chambers of Commerce in Europe (COBCOE)[2] and the Foreign Investors Council in Estonia (FICE).[3] The BECC organises monthly business seminars and conferences as well as business networking events.
Trade missions and SmartEST[edit]
The BECC organises a trade mission for Estonian politicians and business persons to the UK each year. This includes a trade conference (under their SmartEst logo) to which UK counterparts are invited to attend and meet the Estonian delegation.[citation needed]
The 2010 SmartEST Trade Conference "New Nordic Estonia" was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 13 September at the Signet Library.[citation needed] The 2011 SmartEST Trade Conference "Estonia after joining the Euro-zone and OECD" was held in London on 16 September at the Mansion House.[citation needed]
Charity work[edit]
The BECC regularly holds fundraising events for charitable causes in Estonia. They donated over €5000 to the Estonian Cystic Fibrosis Association in January 2012.[4]
