Small country, big ideas. The meeting of minds: education, innovation and the exchange of ideas are the secret of Switzerland’s success. With few natural resources, Switzerland owes its prosperity to investment in people. A highly skilled, multilingual workforce, world-class research institu- tions, an emphasis on innovation and international collaboration, the rapid transfer of expertise into business prod- ucts: this is fertile ground for new ideas. Switzerland provides an ideal location at the heart of Europe for making con- tacts, finding project partners, acquiring and exchanging know-how, doing business and gaining access to new markets. The power of innovation: ■■ No other country invests so much per capita in pure research and new technology ■■ Switzerland has produced more Nobel Prizewinners than any country, relative to population ■■ Ideas breed success: Switzerland ranks first in the Global Competitiveness Index (weforum.org) MySwitzerland.com, Webcode 25587 Wiesner Alp, Davos, Graubünden Why Switzerland.
