Global Competitiveness and Innovation
“Global politics hasn’t shifted this rapidly in more than 70 years. For businesses, this is creating a new wave of geopolitical risks and challenges—the current U.S. tariff disputes are just the tip of the iceberg.”
Dr. Florian Keller, Head Center for Geopolitics and Competitiveness
Every second Swiss franc is earned abroad. The resulting mandate for global competitiveness is a continuous analysis and assessment of the economic and political relationship between Switzerland and the different countries as well as the EU. We also make the resulting outcomes and developments available to our partners from industry. To this end, we offer a comprehensive range of degree and continuing education programs as well as a portfolio of services for companies.
