economiesuisse

 

Who we are

economiesuisse is the umbrella organisation for the Swiss business sector. We represent the interests of the competition-oriented, internationally networked and responsible-minded Swiss business sector. As the link between the political arena, the economy and society, we campaign for the best possible framework conditions for Swiss businesses – from small and medium-sized companies through to major corporations. We are the umbrella organisation for 100 trade and industry associations, 20 cantonal chambers of commerce and a broad range of companies. We currently represent around 100,000 companies from all sectors and all regions in Switzerland, which together employ a total of around two million people. We maintain an open, constructive and solution-oriented dialogue with economic policy-makers and the population. Together with our partners we also set out to achieve shared objectives in referenda and people’s initiatives. Our commitment to the Swiss business sector is oriented on the principles of free trade and competition, and sustainable growth.
