For years, Switzerland and the Greater Zurich Area have occupied top positions worldwide in terms of talent attraction, innovative strength, competitiveness and quality of life. Does this also make the location attractive for start-ups?
Absolutely! Three privately held technology start-ups from Greater Zurich have recently hit the unicorn status and are now valued at over one billion U.S. dollars: cyber protection software provider Acronis, fintech Numbrs and online travel agent GetYourGuide.
Meet C-level executives of two of the new unicorns in a live webinar on November 7 and learn about their experiences with doing business in Greater Zurich, Switzerland.
Here's what you will learn:
- Talent availability

- Investors and incubators
- Market access
- Costs and taxation
- Authorities and regulation
The speakers will answer your own questions in a Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
