The rest of the calendar

Their diary runs on their own site and its booking platform. Individual bookings are not duplicated here: a stale copy of someone else’s calendar helps nobody. What is carried is the shape of the autumn, which on the day the site was read was almost entirely one thing.

Three events they have written up

Their own account of each, in their own words, from their own news pages.

15 September 2026
SwissCham Singapore was delighted to co-host this event with ZHAW School of Management and Law, bringing together leaders from business, government and academia at the office of our valued member, Swiss Re, alongside guests from the Zurich delegation visiting Singapore. The discussion explored a timely question: What are the opportunities and challenges for Swiss companies in Singapore and Southeast Asia in times of global shake-ups?
7 August 2026
Our Climate Tech Committee launched the Climate Adaptation & Resilience Series with its inaugural session, bringing together leaders from the finance, insurance, and corporate sectors to explore practical solutions for navigating an increasingly uncertain climate. From physical protection strategies and disaster recovery to the evolving role of insurance, reinsurance, and adaptation finance, one message stood out throughout the discussion: building resilience requires collaboration, innovation, and action.
17 September 2026
At the SwissCham and Novartis Forum on Women’s Health: Know More, Fear Less, we brought together voices from healthcare, patient advocacy, and the workplace to discuss how women can feel more informed, supported, and confident throughout their breast cancer journey.
