Unique Access to People and Institutions That Affect Your Business
 

  • Chamber luncheons let you meet, learn from, and interact with CEOs of the major corporations or with decision-makers from the public sector. Upcoming events 
  • Briefing meetings with public sector policy makers give you first-hand knowledge of the "rules of the game".
  • The Chamber works as your partner to inform - and influence - decision-makers in Switzerland. Among the critical areas where the Chamber has impacted policy are: work and residence permits, social security, tax problems for expats, and other issues affecting not only American firms, but all foreign firms operating in Switzerland.
  • The Chamber covers member concerns from both sides of the Atlantic, working in the U.S. on costly and bothersome topics such as visa issues, social security, and corporate and individual taxes.

     

Help Control the Costs of Doing Business
 

  • Practice-oriented workshops, seminars, and roundtable meetings allow members to better understand and reduce the "hidden" costs of doing business in Switzerland. 
  • Chamber programs on specific topics such as negotiation and presentation skills for managers, and human resource development give members a chance to maximize the abilities of their staffs.
  • English translations and/or summaries of Swiss business laws save members time and money throughout the year. Publications
  • Every month Chamber publications bring information and ideas on efficient management practices right to our members desks. Publications
  • The Chamber's emphasis on "best practices" information can shorten that costly learning curve for new businesses in the Swiss or in the U.S. market.

     

Help Expand Your Markets
 

  • Our directories of American companies in Switzerland and Swiss companies in America put you a quick call or fax away from potential business opportunities. Publications 
  • Chamber functions put you in direct contact with potential business partners.
