At Swissnex in Boston and New York, we connect Switzerland, North America, and the world in science, education, innovation, and the arts.
Our Vision
Unlocking Futures
As the world’s first science consulate, we’re in the business of creating “aha!” moments – enough aha’s, individual and collective, to spark transformations in areas that are critical to our Swiss and American partners. We work at the frontiers of education, research, and innovation across the American Northeast, providing our stakeholders with insights, creative collisions, and an outside perspective on what’s next. Our vision is to help unlock a new generation of ideas for Switzerland and the world of tomorrow.
Whether it is how Swissnex was pitched to the Swiss government, how it gained backing from the private sector, or how the design of our building gave rise to a new field of architecture, the Swissnex journey isn’t a typical one. In 2020, as part of our 20th anniversary, we embarked on a series of interviews to discover this story from the perspective of some of Swissnex’s most pivotal figures. The resulting publication, Revealing the Dots, gives unprecedented insights into the inception of Swissnex and its development into our global network.
Swissnex is the Swiss global network connecting Switzerland and the world in science, education, and innovation. Our five locations and outposts established in the world’s most innovative hubs support the outreach and active engagement of our partners in the international exchange of knowledge, ideas, and talent.
