We aim to highlight the many UK-Swiss links that already exist in the Greater Manchester area and to facilitate productive business relationships that can drive future innovation and growth.
Mayor Andy Burnham has kindly agreed to open our first event in Manchester with a Keynote Speech. The Mayor will share his vision and strategy on how to foster and open up new opportunities for cross-border partnerships in Research & Innovation, especially in sectors like digital, tech, health, and advanced manufacturing.
Delegates will also hear from Swiss companies who are already investing in the region; and who will present their companies around the topic of Research & Innovation and the growing footprint they have in the region. The British-Swiss Chamber of Commerce will give a short speech highlighting the work of the Chamber and the opportunities for British-Swiss collaboration. The evening will conclude with a networking reception with selected industry experts, the UK-Swiss business community as well as government bodies. | |
