Swissnex is a network that spans the globe. We have a presence in five regions renowned for innovation, backed by a team of on-the-spot initiators, trailblazers and 19 Science Counselors based at Swiss embassies in major cities worldwide.
The name is no coincidence. A nexus is a connection or series of connections linking two or more things. And that, essentially, is what we do. Operating as part of a concerted network, in cooperation with another location or independently, our locations offer expertise and services designed to consolidate Switzerland’s reputation as a leading innovator. Our work strengthens ties with partners worldwide and fosters the international exchange of knowledge, ideas and talent.
Our international locations bring together a diverse group of stakeholders from Switzerland and around the world, including startup founders, researchers, students, industry experts and many more. The Swissnex approach enables us to tackle issues from a global perspective with the advantage of local expertise.
Wherever they are, our locations and outposts have several goals in common. They aim to:
• connect our partners with innovation epicenters worldwide
• advise on trends and opportunities in science, education, research and innovation
• promote Swiss higher education and research institutions, startups and other innovation-driven partner organizations
• inspire new ideas by facilitating knowledge exchange
