The Taiwan Chamber of Commerce has been a pioneer in promoting the art of abacus calculation, a vital tool for traditional commerce and cultural heritage, since its establishment in 1946. With government approval, the organization has tirelessly organized various activities related to abacus training for nearly 80 years. In 1990, the Abacus Promotion Committee was formed to further international and domestic initiatives, including certification exams and educational programs in early childhood mathematics. They also focus on fostering exchanges with overseas organizations.

The chamber produces promotional materials such as posters and pencils to raise awareness about the benefits of abacus and mental arithmetic. These benefits include enhancing cognitive skills, improving logic and mathematics abilities, boosting memory, and developing perseverance. The organization has received ISO certification for skill assessment and certificate issuance, reinforcing its commitment to quality. Its innovative approach highlights the educational and health advantages of abacus training, helping to spread its cultural significance around the world, while also engaging in activities that prevent cognitive decline in older adults.
