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.
The programme will also feature a company testimonial (TBC) with a strong presence in Geneva.
This Market Focus aims to mobilise the Geneva economic ecosystem around a key partner at the heart of Europe’s economy.
