We were very pleased to have successfully celebrated the launch of the Incoterms®2020 in Switzerland today in Zurich. Thomas Pletscher gave an overview of the products and informed about the mechanism of the trainings. Our expert Alexander von Ziegler did a brief presentation about the Incoterms®2020 and the different changes with Incoterms®2010.

We thank all the participants and our speaker Alexander von Ziegler for an outstanding launch event! We also take this opportunity to congratulate Claudia Feusi and Petra Schnegg-Mann for successfully completing the ICC Academy Incoterms®2020 Trainer Exam.

To stimulate and facilitate the exchange with international organisations and the respective diplomatic representations in Geneva, ICC Switzerland continues its Geneva Business Dialogue with a series of high-ranking roundtables.

We are pleased to invite you to the fifth of such discussions, on the topic of “regulatory policy in a changing world”. How can we address the potentially conflicting aspects of digital transformation, consumer protection and innovation in an era of increasing nationalism and protectionism?
The event is aimed at representatives from international organisations in Geneva, from the diplomatic representatives and from companies or business organisations in Switzerland and other countries.

Bringing Together Chambers of Commerce in Switzerland

Marked by its openness to the world, the economic fabric of Geneva and Switzerland is enriched by the presence of numerous bi-national and regional Chambers of Commerce, each of which has valuable expertise in its respective markets.

With a view to bringing the Chambers together, the CCIG, in conjunction with the French, Italian, British and Chinese Chambers of Commerce operating in Switzerland, is organising a major event the "Chambers' Day". ICC Switzerland is proud to see different chambers of commerce coming together and have an active exchange with one another. ICC Switzerland will also be present at the "Village of Chambers".

Its purpose will be to promote the activities of the Chambers of Commerce, as well as to enable the 300 expected participants to exchange ideas within the framework of the "Village of Chambers".  The place of Swiss business in its diversity and the richness of its trade will also be honoured.

Annual Assembly 2019

At our annual assembly we had a look on activities of ICC in General and a look ahead. A hundered years ago the International Chamber of Commerce has been created at the end of the First World War with the objective „Peace and Prosperity through Trade and Investment“. We took the Centenary Celebrations of the International Chamber of Commerce as an opportunity to discuss the contributions business can bring to humanitarian challenges in conflicts and disaster. Yves Daccord, Director-General of the International Committee of the Red Cross gave a very interesting and forwardlooking speech to this topic.
