We are pleased to invite you to our November Luncheon with Dr. Simone Wyss Fedele, CEO of Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE), who will deliver a speech titled “Switzerland and Japan, Two Islands with Similar Strength and Opportunities”.

Like Switzerland, Japan offers international companies a politically and legally stable environment and is open to innovation. Thus, Japan is an interesting market, offering opportunities where Swiss companies are strong and can contribute with high-tech solutions. Moreover, Japanese companies are also important for Switzerland as a business location. However, current geopolitical developments are shaping international business. The structural reorganization of value chains is currently the subject of debate. Companies are faced with new challenges, but also new opportunities. In her presentation for the SCCIJ, Dr. Simone Wyss Fedele, CEO of Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE), will explain how these developments affect Swiss companies and their business in the Japanese market.
