Some have taken shape through the topics addressed in the Chamber’s webinars – such as our session on corporate CSR policies as a new approach to the co-development of companies –. Others have done so through the holding of events. This was indeed the case on 26 April in Geneva, at a meeting co-organised with the Geneva Chamber of Commerce and Industry. On this occasion, in partnership with the Embassy of Switzerland in Rabat, the Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency (AMDIE), Casablanca Finance City (CFC) and Tanger Med raised further awareness of the investment opportunities offered by Morocco. At the same time, the aim was to make Swiss companies aware of the role the Kingdom plays as a hub for trade and investment towards Africa.
Another highlight to come is the visit to Morocco in May of several Swiss figures. Among them, the Swiss State Secretary for Economic Affairs, Ms Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen-Fleisch, who will be making an official visit.
Also in the Chamber’s news, the CCSM regional delegate in Marrakech, Yassin Halhoul, Managing Director of Chocolat Suisse in the same city, has taken up his duties. Responsible for informing and supporting the dynamic and enterprising members of the ochre city, he will be attentive to the whole business community, notably to facilitate networking. We welcome him to our team and to our Board of Directors!
I am also pleased to announce that the CCSM golf tournament will take place in June. A fine way of combining business with pleasure in the friendly atmosphere that is so dear to us.
On behalf of the whole Team and the Board of Directors of the Chamber, I would like to wish you an excellent Ramadan.
Happy reading to all,
Christophe de Figueiredo, President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Morocco.
