Reflecting on Swiss Innovation

Creative and innovative Switzerland

For a rather small country, Switzerland is very well known around the world. Its beautiful mountains, delicious cheese, tasty chocolate and high-quality watchmaking have become symbols that are nowadays inseparably linked to its flag. However, this image only tells a part of the story. With an economy that favours SMEs, a dense network of academic institutions and international organisations, a leading public health system as well as a central position in the heart of Europe, Switzerland has been and still is a major driver of innovation in a number of fields.
