Innovation, technology take centre-stage

SWITZERLAND'S economic success and sustained prosperity as a nation stem from its propensity for innovation. Swiss global corporations, as well as numerous small and medium-sized companies, habitually strive to make improvements to their products, services and processes by investing heavily in research and development. This has meant that Swiss companies have been able to maintain their competitiveness over the last few years despite the strong Swiss franc.

Coupled with its key strengths in cutting-edge technologies, highly educated workforce, and a business-friendly climate, Switzerland has established its leading expertise in various sectors, including information and communications technology (ICT), clean technology and financial technology (fintech).
