What we do
Swissintell is a nonprofit organization (which operates under art. 60 ff of the Swiss Civil Code) which was created in 2006 under the name Swiss Competitive Intelligence Association (SCIA). In 2016, for our 10 years anniversary, we updated our bylaws and changed our name to SWISSINTELL, which is the umbrella brand for:
- The Swiss Competitive Intelligence Association (SCIA) – former name
- The Swiss Association for Market Research, Competitive Intelligence and Strategic Planning (SMCS)
- Der Schweizerische Verband für Marktbeobachtung, Wettbewerbsanalyse und Strategieplanung (SMWP)
- L’Association suisse en veille stratégique et intelligence économique (ASVIE)
- Club Suisse des anciens de l’Ecole de Guerre Economique (AEGE)
- Club Alumni de la Formation en Intelligence Economique et Veille Stratégique – HEG Genève (IEVS)
Our goal is to connect all information professionals in Switzerland and provide a single entry-point for the Swiss Intelligence community. Since 2006, we have organised over 50 networking events in Zurich and Geneva. Today, we have over 350 members and a few sponsors supporting the implementation of our strategy, based on the 2014 thesis by Benjamin Calmant.
We also want to position ourselves as a Swiss research centre on intelligence topics, like our colleagues from the Cf2R in France.
