Industrial Policy

What it is about

Switzerland's economic strength is not based on state control, but on open markets, entrepreneurial initiative and reliable framework conditions. An internationally competitive tax policy, high-quality education and research institutions, efficient infrastructure and access to global markets are further key pillars of economic success. The fact that Switzerland has held top positions in international innovation and competitiveness rankings for years confirms this widely supported approach - without expensive industrial programs costing billions.
