ICC Switzerland, a body of ICC, is an independent association according to Swiss Law. Its office is at economiesuisse, the Swiss Business Federation. Members include international trading companies in particular, international or specialized law firms, chambers of commerce as well as major economic associations.

 

ICC Switzerland was founded in 1922 by economiesuisse (formerly Vorort), the Swiss Bankers Association and the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in France as one of the first ICC chapters.

 

On behalf of Swiss companies, ICC Switzerland provides access to the activities of the World Business Organization, informs about global economic developments, influences these from a Swiss point of view, and promotes positions taken by the international business community towards Swiss politics.
