New commissions, a new momentum

For nearly forty years, the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Morocco has supported the development of economic relations between Switzerland and Morocco, drawing on three pillars that make up its strength: the quality of its network, its closeness to its members and its ability to build bridges between the two ecosystems.

In an economic environment marked by rapid transformations — digitalisation, the sustainable transition, changing skills, new regulatory requirements and the acceleration of international trade — the CCSM wished to take a new step in its development by further structuring the involvement of its members around five thematic commissions.

More than a new organisation, these commissions reflect an ambition: to make the Chamber an ever more participatory space, where everyone’s expertise can help create value for the entire business community.

Five commissions serving members

Designed as genuine spaces for reflection, sharing and action, the commissions bring together board members, executives and experts from member companies around themes that are strategic for the future of economic relations between Switzerland and Morocco.

1 – Business Development & Networking

Developing one’s business and identifying new opportunities remains one of the strongest expectations expressed by the Chamber’s members. This is precisely the issue this commission addresses, through the organisation of targeted B2B meetings, qualified matchmaking between companies, the sharing of business opportunities and dedicated support for SMEs. Its ambition is to make the CCSM network an ever more concrete lever for economic development.

2 – Compliance, Regulation & Business Climate

Because changing regulations directly influence the competitiveness and security of operations, this commission’s mission is to provide companies with useful information and greater visibility of their business environment. Regulatory monitoring, compliance support and dialogue with the authorities are among its main areas of work in order to support members in their activities.

3 – Industry, Innovation, Trust & Sustainable Transition

This commission will support the major transformations that are reshaping business models today. Innovation, artificial intelligence, digitalisation, the energy transition, ESG, quality, certification and trust in value chains are all topics that will be explored with a view to sharing best practices and anticipating future developments.

4 – Talent, Training & Mentoring

Preparing for the future also means investing in skills and talent. This commission intends to strengthen the bridges between member companies and the new generation of professionals, in particular through the “CCSM Next Leaders” mentoring programme, which is currently being set up. The objective: to mobilise the community’s executives and experts to support students from Morocco’s leading grandes écoles in their personal and professional development.

5 – Member Services & Outreach

Beyond running the network, the Chamber wishes to continually enhance the value it brings to its members. This commission will therefore work on developing new services, structuring the CCSM’s offering and strengthening its outreach. It also plays a central role in preparing the Chamber’s 40th anniversary in 2027, a milestone that is a unique opportunity to showcase its history, the commitment of its members and its contribution to the development of economic relations between Switzerland and Morocco.

A collective momentum open to all

While the commissions are led by board members and lead members, their success depends above all on collective engagement.

Each commission is intended to welcome members wishing to share their expertise, contribute to concrete projects or take part in the discussions that will shape the Chamber’s priorities in the years to come. Meeting at least once a quarter, they are gradually defining their roadmaps and priority actions.

Through this new organisation, the CCSM reaffirms its determination to be not only a business network, but also a platform for collective intelligence serving its members. A way of turning individual expertise into collective projects and of further strengthening the ties that unite the Swiss and Moroccan business communities.
