Switzerland and the United States share a powerful economic bond through intensive cross-border investments. In fact, the U.S. is Switzerland’s top destination for foreign direct investment (FDI)—surpassing Germany, France, Italy, and the UK combined!

  • $307 billion in Swiss direct investments make Switzerland the 7th largest foreign investor in the U.S

  • 500,000+ U.S. jobs are directly supported by Swiss companies, with a strong presence in manufacturing.

  • Swiss firms lead the way in R&D, outspending affiliates from other nations to drive innovation.

  • Switzerland isn't just a financial powerhouse—it’s a key player in shaping the U.S. economy!

The Swiss American Chamber of Commerce aims to support and promote the Swiss-US trade and investment dynamic by delivering value to its members and the broader NYC and Tri-state area by organizing its efforts around:

  • Driving foreign direct investments from Switzerland into New York and vice versa

  • Providing a soft landing / key insights about the US market for new Swiss companies and startups in the area

  • Maintaining a relevant support network for Swiss companies in the TriState and help connect them to the local ecosystem

  • Acting as a hub and exchange platform for leaders that are looking to partake in the Swiss-American business dynamic and its connected innovation, technology and investment ecosystem
