Handbook for Investors SWITZERLAND AS a BUSINESS LOCATION Handbook for Investors SWITZERLAND AS A BUSINESS LOCATION OFFICIAL PROGRAM Cover image: Swatch Headquarters, Biel © SWITZERLAND GLOBAL ENTERPRISE July 2020 All rights reserved Welcome Dear reader, Switzerland is one of the world’s leading locations; regular top positions in international rankings testify to this. Its innovative and competitive companies, excellent universities, first-class experts and excellent infrastructure form a strong foundation. But we do not want to rest on our laurels with these achievements. As Director of the Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (EAER), I am committed to maintaining and further consolidating these excellent conditions. We are thus cultivating and strengthening Switzerland to be a location that is attractive both now and in the future. We want it to enable local and international companies as well as research institutes from all sectors to keep performing at their best. These companies must remain consistently on the right path so they can assert themselves in global competition. If these conditions are met, our country can continue to score points with its perfor- mance, quality and innovation in the future. The Swiss economy has mastered the international challenges of recent years very well, thanks not least to the good conditions, but above all thanks to the productivity and innovativeness of local companies. We want your company to become part of this success story. An initial guide for the choice of location can be found in this manual. To help you learn more about the specific advantages and the circumstances of individual location factors, the settlement specialists from Switzerland Global Enterprise and the cantons here in Switzerland, and also those in the Swiss Business Hubs abroad, are on hand to advise you. They are very familiar with the concerns and needs of international companies as well as Switzerland’s economic fabric and can Guy Parmelin actively support you.

    Nendaz au moyen âge. (Communication à l'assemblée de la S. H. V. R., tenue à Nendaz, le 24 mai ig3i.) I. Aperçu général. Il en est de l'histoire de Nendaz comme de celle de la plupart des vallées latérales du Valais. Nos origines se perdent dans une nuit profonde. Touchant notre préhistoire, tout ce que l'on peut savoir, c'est qu'on a trouvé dans la région d'Aproz un tombeau à compar­ timents, de l'âge du bronze. Aucun autre monument n'éclaire notre passé antérieurement à l'ère chrétienne. A l'époque romaine, on peut admettre que les Sédu- niens et les Véragres se coudoyaient au pied de nos coteaux, dans la région de Baar et d'Aproz, et que ce sont là nos deux localités qui furent tout naturelle­ ment, de par leur situation même, habitées en premier lieu. La précieuse carte de Gabriel Walser, de 1768, indique en effet qu'il y avait là autrefois des Véragres. (Hic olim Veragri). Nendaz était essentiellement une terre de forêts qui fut, peu à peu et péniblement rendue à la culture, de vastes forêts à peu près vierges encore au VIe siècle, dans lesquelles gîtaient cerfs, chevreuils, ours, san­ gliers, tout le gibier à plume et à poil de l'époque. La colonisation dut se faire avec peine. Encore au XVIe siècle, dans la carte des sept dizains, d'après la Cosmo­ graphie de Sébastien Müller, alors qu'on y relève un grand nombre de localités du Valais, toute la région de Nendaz n'y est représentée que par un groupe de sapins, sans plus.

  • Medienmitteilung
    Liestal, 14. September 2018 Medienmitteilung Wichtiger Erfolg für das Agglomerationsprogramm Basel. Der Vollanschluss Aesch wird zur höchsten Priorität. Die Agglomeration Basel erringt im Wettbewerb um Bundesmittel einen wichtigen Erfolg. Für die 3. Generation erhält das Agglomerationsprogramm Basel gemäss Bundesratsbeschluss insgesamt CHF 110 Mio. für Verkehrsprojekte. Der Vollanschluss Aesch an der A18 ist neu ein A-Projekt und wird durch den Bund zu 40% mitfinanziert. Ende Dezember 2016 hat die Agglomeration Basel das 3. Programm beim Bund eingereicht. Nach Abschluss der technischen Prüfung im Sommer 2017 gab der Bund im Januar 2018 den Botschaftsentwurf in die Vernehmlassung. Darin waren zentrale Anliegen der trinationalen Agglomeration Basel allerdings nicht berücksichtigt. Die trinationale Trägerschaft hat daraufhin gemeinsam zum Botschaftsentwurf Stellung bezogen, dem Bund wichtige Informationen und Anregungen übergeben und mit Nachdruck Verbesserungen gefordert. Der Bundesrat hat nun in der am 14. September 2018 zu Händen des Parlaments verabschiedeten Botschaft über die Verpflichtungskredite ab 2019 für die Beiträge an Massnahmen im Rahmen des Programms Agglomerationsverkehr zentrale Forderungen der Trägerschaft des Agglomerationsprogramms Basel berücksichtigt. Der Beschluss des Eidgenössischen Parlaments wird im 2. Quartal 2019 erwartet. Dank dem trinational abgestimmten Engagement wurde das Strassenprojekt «Vollanschluss Aesch» vom Bundesrat in die höchste Dringlichkeitsstufe (A-Projekt) aufgenommen. Die Baselbieter Regierungsrätin

  • Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).
