Throughout the year, the business meetings organised by the Chamber brought together Swiss and Moroccan operators as well as representatives of the public sector. This enabled them to explore, with experts, a wide range of relevant and topical themes: Reform of the foreign exchange regime, Certification of financial quality, Environment and Corporate Climate Responsibility… Conferences, seminars and lunch debates provided ideal networking spaces that generated business opportunities.
2017 was also marked by our determination to improve our communication. The Chamber thus successfully met the digital challenge to gain visibility and responsiveness. We rolled out unifying initiatives aimed at the “General public”, notably the first edition of the “Swiss Fondue Evening”. And we ended 2017 in style by celebrating the Chamber’s 30th anniversary at an exceptional evening focused on sharing, cooperation and conviviality.
As for 2018, the CCSM is approaching it with energy and determination. The course set for this new year is one of continuity, with two watchwords: quality and proximity. Maintaining quality, inseparable from and characteristic of Swiss culture, is intrinsic to our values. And it is in this spirit that we envisage our development, both in rolling out our actions and in choosing our members. We are also keen to make 2018 a year of proximity. Attentive to our members’ needs, our challenge will be to offer them tailor-made support in carrying out their projects, and to provide this community with a framework that boosts networking.
2017, rich in achievements and opportunities, is making way for 2018… I therefore wish you all a wonderful year. May this new year bring you health and happiness, and personal and professional fulfilment. And may 2018 be a wonderful year for Morocco–Switzerland ties!
