Switzerland is a country known for its mesmerizing alpine scenery, luxury branded watches, and deliciously milky chocolate. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, it is ranked as the most innovative country in the world, providing vast opportunities for U.S. businesses looking to expand sales into an innovative new market. SMEs represent more than 99% of companies and create two-thirds of the jobs in Switzerland. To establish successful business relationships in Switzerland punctuality, frugality, responsibility, and tolerance are of utmost importance.

Join us on December 15th for a virtual session on Navigating Switzerland! We will cover how-tos and best practices for doing business in the Swiss market, as well as, how to maneuver through cultural nuances business professionals often face while working with or traveling to Switzerland.
