Sino - Swiss Business Awards 2023

Dear Members and Friends of SwissCham,

The Sino-Swiss Business Awards (SSBA) is a highly regarded biyearly event organized by SwissCham China in partnership with the Swiss Embassy. Its primary objective is to recognize and celebrate companies's significant contributions to the Swiss and Chinese business communities.

Building upon the success of previous editions held in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021, this year marks the 10th years anniversary of the SSBA in Beijing. The event comprises five distinct categories that aim to highlight outstanding companies, and organizations that have achieved remarkable accomplishments in innovation, sustainability, quality, talent development and digitalization and displayed unwavering dedication to the Sino-Swiss business community.

中瑞商业大奖（SSBA）是由中国瑞士商会与瑞士大使馆合作举办的一项备受瞩目的两年一度活动。其主要目标是表彰和庆祝企业对瑞士和中国商界的重大贡献。

继2013年、2015年、2017年、2019年和2021年成功举办的前几届大奖，今年在北京举办的SSBA迎来十周年庆。该奖项共设五大类别，旨在表彰在创新、可持续发展、高质量、人才发展和数字化方面取得的卓越成就，并对中瑞商界坚定不移的奉献精神的杰出公司和组织予以表彰。

Looking forward to seeing you at the Sino-Swiss Business Awards 2023 Gala Night!

With best regards,
