About the Publication


Switzerland — A Portrait for Americans is a trilingual cultural and business reference book produced by the Swiss-American Society of Atlanta, scheduled for release on Swiss National Day, August 1, 2026.

The book is organized in three parts. Part 1 is a ten-chapter portrait of Switzerland written for an American readership. Part 2 presents Swiss and Swiss-affiliated companies in the Southeast, giving each partner a permanent editorial profile. Part 3 is a bilingual Swiss citizenship knowledge guide.

Why Sponsor This Book


Switzerland is the sixth-largest foreign direct investor in the United States, supporting nearly 400,000 American jobs across all fifty states. In the Southeast alone — the eleven-state region served by the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta — that presence is substantial and growing. Georgia has more than 185 documented Swiss-connected facilities and 14,000 direct jobs, with nearly $900 million in bilateral trade. North Carolina supports 24,000 Swiss-affiliated jobs; Florida nearly 33,000; Texas more than 44,000. From manufacturing plants and logistics hubs to pharmaceutical research and precision engineering, Swiss companies have quietly become part of the economic fabric of the American South. This book makes that presence visible — in print, permanently.

A sponsor profile in Part 2 is a recognition feature in a Swiss-American cultural publication. It gives Swiss and Swiss-connected companies a visible place in the documentary record of Switzerland’s presence in the American Southeast while supporting SASA’s cultural and community work.


What Sponsors receive:


• A professionally designed editorial profile in the finished book

• Permanent presence distributed through Amazon and IngramSpark

• Visibility within the Swiss-American community across 11 states
