About the Swiss Weeks

Welcome to the Swiss Weeks, a multi-week festival sharing Swiss culture, innovation, and experiences right here in Singapore. From design and gastronomy to sports, science, innovation, sustainability, art and culture, the festival offers a window into Swiss ideas and experiences. Organised by the Embassy of Switzerland with a diverse network of partners, the Swiss Weeks invites you to explore, discover, and connect with Switzerland across the city.

Since 2019, the Swiss Weeks has grown into a vibrant platform connecting Swiss and Singaporean communities through concerts, exhibitions, talks, culinary experiences, sports, nature experiences, and discussions on emerging innovations and technologies, bringing Swiss spirit and collaborative energy to life in Singapore.
The Story of the Swiss Weeks
