In addition, a Swiss delegation chaired by astronaut and professor Claude Nicollier visited, in the presence of HE Guillaume Scheurer, Ambassador of Switzerland to Morocco, GIMAS, the Moroccan Aerospace Industries Association, to assess opportunities for cooperation in this field.
At the same time, the CCSM signed a collaboration agreement with the Geneva Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The aim: to strengthen our ties and make the most of our respective networks for the benefit of our members. We are also planning a joint event in Geneva in 2022, as a prelude to a probable economic delegation. A promising initiative, rich in opportunities, which we would like to extend now to other cantonal Chambers in Switzerland.
In Morocco, our regular events dedicated to our members continue with the same enthusiasm. The Chamber has scheduled several webinars on topical themes – “Industrial property, an accelerator of innovation and access to medicines”, “Generalisation of health coverage: what prospects?” –.
In addition, a first meeting was organised between the Draa Tafilalt Region, the Embassy of Switzerland in Rabat and the CCSM. An opportunity to find out more about the region and its investment possibilities, no doubt with a view to a forthcoming joint event.
So much good news, and much more besides, can be found in this new issue of Swisseco, a fitting celebration of the centenary of the Swiss diplomatic presence in Morocco.
Happy reading to all.
Christophe de Figueiredo, President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Morocco.
