Swissnex in Boston and New York creates opportunities for academics, researchers, entrepreneurs, and other future-makers to expand their reach and make meaningful, collaborative connections between Switzerland and North America. Our mission is to support the outreach and active engagement of our partners in the international exchange of knowledge, ideas, and talent.

Our activities include:

• Working closely with universities and research labs to promote the flow of ideas, knowledge, and talent through collaborative events, partnerships, and network-building
• Advising and supporting universities on trends in higher education and strategic initiatives
• Accelerating startups and assisting entrepreneurs in entering the North American market
• Advising corporations, nonprofits, and international organizations on market trends and best practices
• Supporting Swiss innovators and thought leaders in expanding their North American presence

With offices in Boston and New York, we are part of the Swissnex Global Network, an initiative of Switzerland's State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation with locations in Brazil, China, India, and San Francisco. Forward-looking by design, we scan broadly for trends and "signals from the future" to inspire people and organizations to prepare for the challenges of tomorrow. Our biggest impact stems from projects that are truly multidisciplinary and bring together actors who don't normally cross paths.
