As Europe’s largest economy and Switzerland’s key trading partner, Germany represents a strategic lever for growth, innovation and diversification, particularly as nearly 80% of Swiss companies already export to the country.
The participation of the Head of the Economic Affairs Section of the German Embassy, the Head of Swiss Business Hub Germany, and a consultant from Switzerland Global Enterprise (S‑GE) Germany will provide practical insights into market access, European value chains and sector‑specific opportunities.
This Market Focus aims to mobilise the Geneva economic ecosystem around a key partner at the heart of Europe’s economy.
