About us
Export promotion, promotion of business location Switzerland, and representation of interests
The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), in conjunction with Swiss embassies and consulates all over the world, provide a broad range of services. In particularly important, traditional and emerging markets, the federal government operates, in collaboration with Switzerland Global Enterprise, Swiss Business Hubs that offer a wide range of services. The Swiss Business Hubs are attached to the official representation network of the FDFA.
The Swiss Business Hub USA is the New York-headquartered representation of the official international trade and investment promotion agency Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE). As part of the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York and with offices in San Francisco, Atlanta and Boston (Cambridge), it is responsible for implementing Swiss export strategies in the US and for promoting Switzerland as a business location.
The Swiss Business Hub USA provides localized support, market information, consulting and networking services to Swiss companies venturing into the US market. An experienced team of trade commissioners stands ready to support inquiries of all kind and serves as a first-hand local contact for companies - new or experienced - in the US market. A client-centered attitude and the flexibility to offer bespoke services uniquely position the SBH to meet and support a company’s business requirements.
In addition, the Swiss Business Hub actively promotes Switzerland as a highly attractive business and investment location for US companies looking for growth in Switzerland and Europe.
