How the Swiss export industry focuses on innovation<\/h1>\n

After the agreement between the European Free Trade Association and Indonesia, Switzerland will help companies maintain their modernizing power and competitiveness<\/h3>\n

On January 26, the President of the Swiss Confederation, Guy Parmelin, discussed with representatives of the export industry possible measures to boost international trade.<\/p>\n

He reiterated his support for the Economic Partnership Agreement between the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and Indonesia, which is due to be voted on on 7 March 2021. The participants also expect positive impulses from Innosuisse’s innovation programs.<\/p>\n

The participants of the Third Export Round Table are unanimous in their opinion that the vote on the EFTA-Indonesia Economic Partnership Agreement offers the Swiss economy a great opportunity to operate in an important growth market.<\/p>\n

The agreement between Jakarta and the group of countries embodied by Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway aims to improve market access and prevent Swiss companies from being disadvantaged.<\/p>\n

It also allows for significant improvements over the current sustainability situation, particularly for the trade in palm oil, which can only benefit from the Agreement if it meets strict sustainability criteria.<\/p>\n

Also discussed was the post-crisis recovery, which represents another challenge for the export industry. Internationally active companies hope that the vaccinations initiated will soon lead to a relaxation of restrictions on business travel.<\/p>\n

The participants also see the recently launched Innosuisse promotion tools as an important incentive for a sustainable recovery.<\/p>\n

Given the great need for infrastructure investment worldwide, the Swiss Confederation and business are working hand in hand to facilitate Swiss industry’s access to large-scale foreign infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

These activities assume even greater importance as a contribution to the revival of Swiss export industry after the crisis.<\/p>\n

20 business associations and chambers of commerce<\/h3>\n

Representatives from 20 business associations and chambers of commerce, the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), Innosuisse, Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) and Swiss Export Risk Insurance (SERV) participated in the Export Roundtable, the third since the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
