Who are we ?
Founded in 1898, the Vaud Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CVCI) is a completely private and unsubsidized association. Its operations are funded through member contributions, the sale of service, and various mandates it fulfills.
As a primary contact and advocate for companies, the CVCI supports market economy principles. It is a member of economiesuisse and the Swiss Employers’ Association. Additionally, the CVCI is part of an extensive national and international network of chambers of commerce and industry (CCI).
