About the Partner Organisation 

The Port Moresby Chamber of Commerce and Industry (POMCCI) is the leading voice of the private sector in Papua New Guinea’s capital city. As a not-for-profit, member-based organisation, we represent a wide cross-section of businesses, ranging from micro and small enterprises to large corporations across key industries and sectors.

Our aim is to strengthen the business environment in Port Moresby by promoting and protecting the interests of our members. We work closely with government agencies, development partners, investors, and the wider business community to advocate for policy reform, provide business support services, and create opportunities for networking and professional growth. We also support the Young Port Moresby Chamber of Commerce and Industry (YPOMCCI), which empowers young professionals and entrepreneurs to play a meaningful role in the economy.
