Building Bridges Between Schaffhausen and China
by swisscham in Culture & Society
About 70 friends of Switzerland visited a special networking event at the swissnex China office on April 10th. It was focused on the Swiss Canton of Schaffhausen and its connections to China, organized in close collaboration with the Swiss Consulate General. The Canton of Schaffhausen is the most northern region of Switzerland and is famous for its wine culture, a historic old town and for the impressive Rhine Falls, EuropeÕs largest waterfall. Furthermore it is home to several world leading companies and an attractive location due to its proximity to the Zurich Airport. Schaffhausen is working on strengthening its position globally to attract businesses and tourists. The idea for such an evening came from the two interns Lea Im Obersteg and Niklaus Waldvogel, both originating from Schaffhausen and eager to present their region and its qualities.
