Switzerland as a fintech nation: stability meets progress
Education, openness, innovation. These three assets have enabled Switzerland to build one of the world's most competitive financial centres. Other key factors are the country's sound political system and efficient public authorities.
Switzerland is stable, business-oriented and internationally connected. Its competitive tax policy, combined with an open trade and foreign policy, creates a favourable environment for emerging sectors. Switzerland retained its top position in the Global Innovation Index published by the World Intellectual Property Organization, a UN agency, for the 14th consecutive year in 2024. The combination of solid foundations and forward thinking enables Switzerland to play a leading role in the fintech sector.
