About the SCCIJ

Founded in 1981 and officially approved by the Japanese Ministry of Industry and Trade the following year, we support the interests of Swiss companies doing business in Japan as well as Japanese companies interested in doing business in Switzerland by offering practical services and organizing networking opportunities. Not only do we count among our members some of the biggest Swiss multinationals but we are also proud of the many small and medium-sized companies, the so-called hidden champions which constitute an important part of our membership. Find out more about the SCCIJ and make it “Your Swiss Network” in Japan!

We are a business association serving Swiss companies and entrepreneurs doing businesses in Japan and Japanese companies interested in dealing with Switzerland. We support and promote the commercial relationships between the two countries and aim to generate more business activity for our members by providing networking opportunities and making business contacts. The Chamber now has about 200 members (two third of which are companies) who actively exchange knowledge and ideas on a variety of topics via our events and luncheons

We Stand for "Swissness"

As a business association, the SCCIJ stands against the misuse of “Swissness”, i.e. deceptive utilizations of the “Swiss Made” designation and the Swiss cross emblem. In an effort to ensure the long-term value of the label, the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (link) and Swissness Enforcement (link) provide clear rules and resources for the use of the Swiss indication of source. The SCCIJ strongly advises consulting these organizations and exerting due diligence when dealing with “Swissness” for marketing purposes.
