Successful economic and social developments do not happen by chance - they are shaped by people who actively exert influence in the right places. In African markets, stable networks, trusting relationships and targeted strategic involvement are often more decisive than financial resources.
Africa Swiss offers its members not only access to relevant decision-makers in business, politics and research, but also the opportunity to actively participate in strategic processes. Companies, specialists and institutions can contribute their knowledge, ideas and contacts in a targeted manner to help shape economic relations between Switzerland, Africa and Europe in the long term.
African markets are complex and dynamic. If you want to be successful, you not only need market analyses and business partners, but also an active role in shaping economic developments.
Africa Swiss enables members to participate directly in strategic economic discussions, market analyses and political processes. This takes place via specialist forums, working groups and targeted projects that are tailored to the needs of African markets.
Example: A Swiss company develops innovative solutions in the circular economy. By actively participating in an Africa Swiss expert group, it can contribute its expertise, build targeted partnerships and contribute to new economic policy initiatives.
Economic cooperation is not just a question of supply and demand - it requires targeted planning, stable framework conditions and sustainable strategies. Africa Swiss offers members the opportunity to actively participate in decision-making processes by getting involved in working groups, economic policy initiatives and strategic committees.
Example: An African start-up wants to tackle regulatory challenges for FinTech companies in its country. Africa Swiss gives it access to a strategic committee that deals with digital financial solutions and regulatory improvements.
A strong network not only provides access to existing business models, but also a platform for new ideas, innovations and strategic projects. Africa Swiss enables its members to present their visions to relevant partners in a targeted manner and receive support for their implementation.
Example: A Swiss medtech company is developing a mobile healthcare platform for rural regions in Africa. Through an Africa Swiss conference, the company can present its solution and find direct partners for a market launch.
Success in new markets often depends on knowing the right people. Africa Swiss brings its members together with decision-makers from business and politics to facilitate direct cooperation opportunities and strategic partnerships.
Example: A Swiss infrastructure company is looking for new markets for sustainable construction projects. An Africa Swiss delegation trip to Tanzania gives it direct access to government representatives and local business partners who are interested in sustainable urban development.
Strategic influence is not just a question of capital, but of the right positioning. Africa Swiss offers its members the opportunity to actively shape economic developments, gain access to relevant decision-makers and drive forward their own projects in a targeted manner.
By participating in specialist groups, economic policy initiatives and strategic forums, companies and specialists can not only benefit from existing market developments, but also actively influence them.
Whether through targeted networking events, economic policy discussions or individual project presentations - membership of Africa Swiss opens up new perspectives for co-determination and long-term economic success.
