This meeting enabled in-depth discussions on several sectors of strategic importance to both economies, including industry, infrastructure, renewable energy and technology, with the participation of Casablanca Finance City and Switzerland Global Enterprise.
Highlighting the importance of economic exchanges between the two countries, His Excellency Valentin Zellweger, Ambassador of Switzerland to Morocco, pointed to an increase of more than 30% in the volume of bilateral trade in 2025, while stressing the still largely untapped potential between the two markets. A view shared by the CGEM (General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises), which recalled Morocco’s strategic positioning as a continental industrial and financial hub, backed by a network of free trade agreements covering more than 1.5 billion consumers.
The forum was held in a particularly dynamic bilateral context, marked this year by the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Morocco and Switzerland. The visit of the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, to Bern a few days later further reinforced the political signal sent to the business communities of both countries.
