The powerhouse of Switzerland
Zurich is the driving force of the Swiss economy, a hub for science and home to many international companies, making it ideal for international association events
Famous as a city of banking and finance, Zurich is one of the most important centres in Europe for Life Sciences, CleanTech and ICT. Google, Microsoft, IBM and Disney Research Lab are a few of many international companies who have established their headquarters in Zurich attracted by the high quality of living and the talent pool of renowned universities including the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, where Albert Einstein was once a student and professor.
Event planners in fields such as Life Sciences, CleanTech, ICT and Finance will discover an innovative, thriving and accessible environment in Zurich.
Well-connected, the team at Zürich Tourism can arrange speakers, technical visits and contacts with the right people.
Helping Zurich reach this level of success are world-class academic institutions, strategic investors, leading strategies for intellectual properties, innovation-friendly authorities and a serious start-up environment. In such a small city, proximity enables private industry, research institutions and authorities to work closely together and support an innovative environment.
