- Corporate MarketZürich is a leading global city and among the world's largest financial centres. Most of Switzerland's research and development centres are concentrated in Zürich and the low tax rates attract overseas companies to set up their headquarters there.
- Cooking CultureSwitzerland was historically a country of farmers, so traditional Swiss people enjoy cooking and use only good ingredients. Swiss cuisine bears witness to many regional influences, including from French, German and Italian cuisines and also features many dishes specific to Switzerland.
Swiss also loves wine (and also produce it locally) and coffee (seventh highest per capita coffee consumption worldwide). - Experience EconomyExperience economy (as the next economy following the agrarian economy, the industrial economy, and the most recent service economy) reached Switzerland. Despite theaters, concerts, exhibitions, we see the raise of the new edutainment businesses such as "PaintEvents", "ArtEvents".
