CEE Swiss Business Forum - CEE Matters!
Credits: SEC
Central and Eastern Europe — from the Baltics to Poland, Czechia and Romania, all the way to the Western Balkans — matters far more to Switzerland economically, politically and socially than public perception often suggests. With around CHF 78 billion in annual trade volume, the region already exceeds Switzerland's trade with Italy or China — and is growing significantly faster.
At the CEE Swiss Business Forum, the flagship annual event of the Chamber of Commerce Switzerland Central Europe (SEC), we are launching "CEE Matters!" this year — a new, multi-year initiative dedicated to making the importance of the Switzerland–CEE relationship visible and actively strengthening it.
Programme
- Economic Outlook & keynote talks on the economic situation in CEE
- Panel "CEE Matters — for Economy"
- Panel "CEE Matters — for Politics & Security" with high-level political and diplomatic guests
- Company presentations, keynotes and panels in the afternoon
- One-on-one company consulting / speed-dating sessions with chamber representatives on market entry, sourcing and trade with CEE
Who should attend?
Entrepreneurs and business leaders with an interest in CEE, decision-makers from business and politics, ambassadors and honorary consuls, and anyone who wants to understand why this
