Swissnex in India

Last year brought a much-awaited return to in-person activities, from startup camps and delegation visits to short-term sabbaticals. We rejoiced in seeing new and familiar faces come through our doors as we worked hard on defining our 2023-25 strategic priorities.

We laid the foundations for piloting an Indo-Swiss innovation platform focusing on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). And second, we had an opportunity to liaise closely with institutional partners at the Joint Committee Meeting for Cooperation on Science and Technology. The aim was to coordinate existing collaboration measures and develop the Indo-Swiss collaboration strategically and systemically in the years ahead, focusing on health, sustainability, and digital transformation.

At the same time, we have worked intensively under the hood of Swissnex in India. We have endeavored to train ourselves to become better storytellers and renovated our office with a new state-of-the-art community space that will launch in early 2023.
