Embassy of Ireland, Switzerland

Team Ireland in Switzerland

The Embassy works to pursue opportunities to enhance the political and economic relationship between Ireland and Switzerland that will deliver economic growth and jobs, maintain and enhance links with our Irish diaspora, and promote Ireland and the Irish Arts

The Embassy works with Irish state agencies to:

  • Promote Ireland's trade and investment objectives

Working with state agencies in Switzerland

The Embassy works closely with Enterprise Ireland, Bord Bia, Tourism Ireland and the IDA along with other state agencies to promote trade, tourism and inward investment. We can:

  • Support Irish companies who want to find and access new markets and help with resolving commercial difficulties where possible

  • Work to secure market access for Irish products in key sectors

Working with the right expertise in relevant state agencies is part of our successful strategy
