About Us

Established in 2017, CH-APEN – the Swiss-Albanian Professionals & Entrepreneurs Network in Switzerland (Swiss-APEN) – serves as a Swiss-based association aimed at fostering a collaborative platform for Albanian professionals. Through networking and the discussion of key topics, members are empowered to support one another’s growth and contribute to the advancement of the Albanian community.

CHAPEN Events

Our events combine prestigious locations in Switzerland with top-tier networking opportunities between Swiss-Albanian entrepreneurs and business professionals. Enjoy unforgettable evenings that offer not only successful business connections but also cultural enrichment. We promote Albanian art and culture, creating an inspiring atmosphere with live music. Our carefully selected venues provide the perfect setting for exceptional entertainment and valuable connections – an event experience that seamlessly blends success and enjoyment.

Exclusive Gala Evening

Once a year, we host exclusive gala events of the highest caliber. A standout example is our Gala Night aboard the motor vessel “MS Diamant”, where delighted guests enjoyed a scenic cruise across Lake Lucerne on a beautiful summer day. This idyllic experience embodies the essence of our gala events, where business seamlessly blends with pleasure in an unforgettable setting. With stunning views and a welcoming atmosphere, these occasions provide the perfect balance of professional networking and relaxed enjoyment, leaving lasting impressions on all attendees.

Speak@ODA

The Forum “Speak@Oda” draws inspiration from the traditional Albanian “Oda”, a space where knowledge and ideas were shared among respected figures. This modern event series continues that legacy, bringing together Swiss-Albanian professionals and entrepreneurs to exchange insights on key issues impacting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Featuring four distinguished speakers from various industries, “Speak@Oda” will cover essential topics such as finance, recruitment, marketing, artificial intelligence, energy trends and more, providing attendees with valuable strategies to drive business growth. The event will also include networking opportunities at CHAPEN.
