At Swissnex in Boston and New York, we connect Switzerland, North America, and the world in science, education, innovation, and the arts.
As the world’s first science consulate, we’re in the business of creating “aha!” moments – enough aha’s, individual and collective, to spark transformations in areas that are critical to our Swiss and American partners. We work at the frontiers of education, research, and innovation across the American Northeast, providing our stakeholders with insights, creative collisions, and an outside perspective on what’s next. Our vision is to help unlock a new generation of ideas for Switzerland and the world of tomorrow.
The founding of Swissnex in 2000 as the world's first science and technology consulate was a bold step into a new era of diplomacy. Revealing the Dots, published in 2020 as part of our 20th anniversary celebration, gives you the inside story of Swissnex, with perspectives from pivotal players and insights into the inception and expansion of the global Swissnex network.
