“IPAF has found a hospitable and welcoming second home in Switzerland and I delighted to be able to play a part in encouraging trade and commerce between the UK and Switzerland”.

The BSCC, was founded in Basel in 1920, and is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that promotes business relations between Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the United Kingdom.

The BSCC’s Basel Chapter represents its members in both Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft, as well as those in the nearby regions of north-western Switzerland.
