OUR HISTORY

For more than 100 years, business people have been emigrating from Switzerland to Finland to try their luck as entrepreneurs. In Finland, family names like Fazer, Huber and Berner remain synonymous with big success stories. Throughout that time, business relationships have been steadily expanding.

In the early 1970s, a delegation of Swiss businesspeople paid a visit to Finland. Inspired by a trip to a genuine Finnish sauna, the group decided to establish a chamber of commerce, which duly opened in 1973. Today our members include Swiss and Finnish companies, businesspeople and private individuals representing a wide range of economic and social fields.

Our office is located close to the Zurich Enge station. Since 2017, we have also had a contact site in central Helsinki.
