Strengthening Swiss Presence in Multilateral Organisations

During the cinfo Forum 2024, exclusive networking sessions were held to connect Swiss professionals working in multilateral organisations with one another and with representatives of the Swiss federal administration. Additionally, one-to-one meetings enabled Swiss professionals to engage directly with recruiters from key multilateral organisations.

Both formats were highly successful, offering valuable opportunities for professionals to build connections and explore career possibilities.
