The Solomon Islands Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI) is set to take a decisive leadership in its national business advocacy engagements and policy reform programmes for this year.
Central to the SICCI’s 2026 calendar is a strong line-up of flagship programs, a statement from SICCI said yesterday.
SICCI’s statement said SICCI will commence the year by convening top business and government leaders at the Prime Minister’s Breakfast, fostering direct dialogue on national priorities.
This will be followed by the PNG-Solomon Islands Business Forum, a key platform to bolster regional trade and investment.
The chamber also plans to formalise several new Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with strategic partners and then culminate this year, with its prestigious Business Excellence Awards, celebrating outstanding achievement in the private sector, said SICCI.
The statement said that SICCI will intensify its core advocacy work beyond events.
It adds that the organisation reaffirms its commitment to being the leading voice for business, driving partnerships, and shaping a more prosperous and competitive Solomon Islands.
SICCI’s Strategic Line-Up for early 2026, which is a robust schedule of flagship programs designed to shape the business landscape this year, includes;
- The Prime Minister’s Breakfast: An exclusive forum to facilitate high-level dialogue between business leaders and the Head of Government on national economic priorities.
- The PNG–Solomon Islands Business Forum: A pivotal event to deepen trade, investment, and business linkages with Papua New Guinea, following the landmark MOU signed in 2025.
- Signing of New MOUs: The Chamber will finalise strategic partnerships to further enhance its advocacy and service delivery to members, and Policy Advocacy Intensification:
SICCI said that the organisation will ramp up its efforts on critical agendas, including land policy and other key reforms essential for improving the business operating environment.
