Greater Zurich Area Ltd (GZA) regularly awards entrepreneurs, executives and multipliers as "Greater Zurich Honorary Ambassadors". The award recognizes the outstanding achievements of these personalities as well as their merits for the Greater Zurich Area in Switzerland.
In addition to honoring outstanding achievements, the Honorary Ambassador program has great value for GZA's activities. The Honorary Ambassadors carry the excellence of Greater Zurich as a technology and business location out into the world and inform and support other companies interested in expanding into or within Europe in a credible manner.
