Switzerland is traditionally known for its chocolate and cheese, mountains and lakes, as well as punctual trains and watches. But Switzerland has a lot more to offer to the world and especially to the United States. We are an important and reliable international partner in fields ranging from politics and economy to technology, innovation, and science. Furthermore, Switzerland’s innovative spirit, its commitment to sustainability, and the democratic values shared with the U.S. strongly contribute to the excellent relationship between both countries.

SWISS IMPACT highlights the breadth of Switzerland’s positive impact in the U.S., particularly in the five topic areas of Innovation, Sustainability, Economic Relations, Humanitarian Affairs, and Culture. As such, we are launching this brand new website, which is a great tool to learn about Switzerland’s role in these fields and to explore the programming of our representations across the United States. Featuring all past and upcoming events, this website showcases how the Swiss official representations, companies, research institutions, and scientists work together with local partners to further strengthen the relationship between Switzerland and the U.S.

We invite you to explore the site and encourage you to register for one of our many public events. You can also sign up for our various newsletters in the “stay in touch” section below to receive updates on the activities of our representations across the U.S.

Watch Jacques Pitteloud, the Ambassador of Switzerland to the United States, talk about the importance of SWISS IMPACT.
