Welcome to SSCC
Connect, Engage and Create Business Opportunities
Founded in 2008, the Swedish Swiss Chamber of Commerce – SSCC, is a networking organisation for companies and individuals, all of whom are interested, or engaged in business within the Swedish-Swiss community in Switzerland.
About us
The initiative to form a long sought-after Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Switzerland was taken by Birgitta Arve, Swedish Consul in Zurich and Per Edholm, Swedish Consul General in Lausanne. The Chamber was inaugurated on 7 May 2008 with 15 Patron members supporting the initiative: ABB, Atlas Copco, EF, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Gunvor Group, Handelsbanken, IKEA, Lombard International Assurance, Lundin Petroleum, Melker Schörling AB, Nestlé, Nordea, SAAB, SEB, and Tetra Pak. Ian Lundin was elected as the first Chairman from 2008 to 2009, followed by Hansueli Märki who chaired the Chamber from 2009 to 2020. The current Chairperson is Beatrice Engström-Bondy.
The Chamber strives to promote and maintain extensive contact with organisations in both Sweden and Switzerland involved in trade or business relations between the two countries. This is emphasised in the Chamber’s close contact with the Swedish and the Swiss Embassies, Business Sweden, Switzerland Global Entreprise, bilateral and regional Chambers of Commerce and other official organisations promoting Swedish-Swiss relations.
Business network
The Chamber’s main role is to provide a platform for members to meet, connect, exchange ideas, and ultimately create or strengthen business opportunities. We organise 30+ business events and webinars per year taking place across Switzerland in Zurich, Geneva, Lugano and Bern, providing professional networking opportunities. All our events are in English.
SSCC has a member network of more than 290 corporations and individual members representing more than 1’100 member contacts and a total network of 4’000+ people. Our members range across all sectors and industries, from large corporates to SMEs and entrepreneurs, located in Switzerland, Sweden and neighbouring countries.
MISSION STATEMENT
For the benefit of our members, the Swedish Swiss Chamber of Commerce shall create and facilitate contact and communication between corporations and organisations with the common goal of expanding Swedish-Swiss business and extending commercial relations between Sweden and Switzerland.
