The Swiss Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (SCCIJ) is a renowned business association that serves Swiss companies and entrepreneurs conducting business in Japan, as well as Japanese companies interested in dealing with Switzerland. With a rich history dating back to 1981, SCCIJ is officially approved by the Japanese Ministry of Industry and Trade and is dedicated to supporting and promoting commercial relationships between the two countries.

SCCIJ offers practical services and organizes networking opportunities to generate more business activity for its members. The organization boasts a diverse membership, including some of the largest Swiss multinationals as well as small and medium-sized companies known as "hidden champions." SCCIJ actively facilitates knowledge exchange and idea sharing through various events and luncheons.

As a business association, SCCIJ firmly stands against the misuse of "Swissness." It advocates for the proper utilization of the "Swiss Made" designation and the Swiss cross emblem, ensuring their long-term value. The organization encourages consulting the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property and Swissness Enforcement for guidelines and resources related to the use of the "Swissness" label in marketing.
