Dear members and friends of SCCC
Chinese organizations are more and more
interested in Switzerland, according to our members’ feedback and my own
observations. The reasons are manyfold. On the one hand, trade tensions between
North America and China as well as uncertainties around the type and timing of the
Brexit weigh on the sentiment in these areas. Swiss companies, on the other
hand, are attractive, present interesting products and are set in a favorable economic
environment.
On May 19, 2019 Swiss citizens voted in
favor of the new Corporate Tax. Hereby, Switzerland has as of January 2020 an
OECD compliant and sustainable tax regime. This is highly interesting for
Chinese organizations that are looking for a setup in continental Europe for
their overseas business activities. Other advantages of Switzerland, that result
from the Free Trade Agreement, are the RMB hub and the MOU between the Shanghai
Stock Exchange and the Swiss Stock Exchange. This is impressive.
In 2019, the People’s Republic of China
will turn 70 years old. Time to celebrate and reflect. The Chamber is planning
an exclusive event together with our Platinum Sponsor CCB, at which we would
like to thank CCB Zurich Branch for their continuous support.
We are introducing a Membership Finder’s
Fee scheme as of July 2019. If you bring in two new members in your own
category, you or your company receives a free membership for one year.
SinoSwiss Technopark is holding for the
second time the start-up and SME competition for companies that are interested
in accessing the Chinese Markets. I highly recommend companies to participate
at this competition as the knowledge gained is priceless. Information about
this event has been sent to you in mid-June and is available on the website
under www.ssbicom.com.
The back office of the Chamber has found a
new home at an excellent location and at affordable rental costs, at the Kappelergasse
15, 8001 Zurich. This was only possible due to the support of one of our
members. THANK YOU! Please do not hesitate to stop by and meet the SCCC back
office team as they look forward to receiving member visits in our new premises.
In this newsletter you will find events
that take place during the summer. The next newsletter will be sent out at the
beginning of September. The whole SCCC-team and myself wish you a relaxing summer
break.
Kind regards,
Felix Sutter
