Intro

Be inspired by leading voices, discover new markets, and build valuable connections through targeted matchmaking.

The Foreign Trade Forum is the central platform for Switzerland’s export industry. On 23 April 2026, meet our experts from the 21 Swiss Business Hubs as well as leading figures from politics and business at the Kongresshaus Zürich. Immerse yourself in over 130 markets, gain inspiration from visionary speakers, and expand your network efficiently through structured matchmaking.

Under the theme “Rethink Risk. Rethink Opportunity.”, the Forum shows how Swiss SMEs can identify new opportunities and turn uncertainty into growth in a rapidly changing global trade environment.

The International Trade Forum is attended by around 400 exporting companies from Switzerland and Liechtenstein, as well as representatives from politics and administration. The audience includes CEOs, owners, managing directors, and heads of sales, etc.

Highlights:

Pressure: How can export resilience succeed? Which risks are worth taking – and which should be avoided? Sandra Banholzer, CEO of Rausch AG, and trade expert Simon Evenett in conversation.

Perspective: Neuroscientist and Swiss AI pioneer Pascal Kaufmann explains how artificial intelligence and data analysis are transforming global trade and the economy.

Pulse: Take advantage of our structured matchmaking sessions to connect efficiently with the people who can help you move forward.
