Swissnex in India

Putting big ideas into practice. That was our theme for 2023, when we launched the Indo-Swiss Innovation Platform in collaboration with the Swiss Business Hub India and the Embassy of Switzerland in India. The premise is quite simple: India is rapidly becoming a key shaper of the knowledge economy. With the Innovation Platform, we are collectively creating the conditions for Switzerland’s education, research and innovation stakeholders to engage with India in a more strategic and systemic way.

Concretely, this means that our own activities are a little less one-off and a little more strategically directed so that there is greater alignment between them and the various instruments fostering collaboration. Read our feature story on the Indo-Swiss AMR Innovation Dialogue to see this all in action. Speaking of reading, we’ve also put the storytelling skills we acquired in 2022 into practice with our new newsletter, Anomaly. With an ambitious strategy, refreshed communication, and a renovated community space, the stage is set for 2024!
