COUNTRY SHOWCASE
SWITZERLAND
- Where Artificial Intelligence Meets Data Safety Switzerland - in the heart of Europe - is a hub for future technologies such as artificial intelligence. A key aspect of Switzerland’s efficient technology transfer is the closeness of strong research institutions, small and medium enterprises and multinationals to each other. This facilitates symbiotic relationships between these actors which are encouraged by the favorable conditions in Switzerland. There are countless examples of these, including Microsoft’s laboratory for mixed reality and AI; another is Facebook’s office that works on computer vision. Companies based in Switzerland significantly benefit from its attractiveness to international talent and unbureaucratic support from the government. An added value for AI companies in Switzerland is the framework conditions for education, research and innovation as presented by the State Secretary for Education Research and Innovation.
