Benefits for members
Being a member of the Canadian-Swiss Chamber of Commerce (CSCC) comes with many benefits!
The Canadian-Swiss Chamber of Commerce provides a detailed, 24/7 accessible, online members directory. This platform was designed to facilitate dialogue and knowledge sharing.
The CSCC receives many enquiries seeking information on legal matters, accounting, banking, travel, business opportunities, events and other services. The CSCC answers these enquiries by referring them to our business members in the appropriate sector or to the appropriate department at the Canadian Embassy in Bern.
The CSCC has gained a reputation for organizing a wide variety of successful professional and cultural networking events for its members that are engaging, informative and value-added. We have various flagship professional networking events including Luncheon Conferences, CEO Dinners as well as an Annual Economic and Market Forecast Evening.
These are just a few of the regular events that the CSCC organizes to help our members build new business relationships and generate new business opportunities. Please see our Events section for details on upcoming events.
Our cultural events are for members to get together and enjoy some Canadian-oriented, social and networking opportunites. Many have become signature events and are very well-attended.
Over the past year, members have taken advantage of preferential rates and premium group seating at professional hockey games, premier circus performances and music festival VIP evenings.
The CSCC also provides its corporate partners and members with many opportunities to promote their business through its various communication vehicles including the Members’ Directory, eNews Bulletin, website and targeted member-wide email campaigns.
The key objective is to increase members’ profiles in the business community and create synergies between members.
The CSCC is implementing a program to encourage members to offer privileged pricing, exclusive discounts and other value-added benefits to their fellow members with the goal of fostering business relationships among members.
By choosing to offer a Member-to-Member (M2M) discount, our members not only increase their business by increasing awareness of their goods and services, but they also give members an incentive to purchase from within our network at preferential rates.
