Switzerland meets… is a unique opportunity for Swiss producers and representatives of public funds and television to meet a delegation from another region/country, and to encourage co-production, networking and collaboration. In 2023, delegations from Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg are coming to Nyon: Switzerland meets Benelux.

The programme will unfold between the 23rd and the 24th. The first day will hold an introductory roundtable discussion to present challenges and opportunities for co-production between Switzerland and Benelux and discuss the country-specific aspects of coproduction and funding partnership (funds, broadcasters, tax incentives, etc.), and a presentation of the selected production companies (from both Benelux and Switzerland), their profiles and line-ups.

On the second day, business-focused individual meetings between the Benelux and Swiss professionals will take place, allowing participants to exchange on their own projects for potential co-productions.
