SWITZERLAND
Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a landlocked country situated at the confluence of Western, Central, and Southern Europe. It is a federal republic composed of 26 cantons, with federal authorities based in Bern. Switzerland is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. It is geographically divided among the Swiss Plateau, the Alps, and the Jura, spanning a total area of 41,285 km2 (15,940 sq mi), and land area of 39,997 km2 (15,443 sq mi). Although the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately 8.5 million is concentrated mostly on the plateau, where the largest cities and economic centres are located, among them Zürich, Geneva, and Basel. These cities are home to several offices of international organisations such as the headquarters of FIFA, the UN’s second-largest Office, and the main building of the Bank for International Settlements. The main international airports of Switzerland are also located in these cities.
A developed country, it has the highest nominal wealth per adult and the eighth-highest per capita gross domestic product, and has been considered a tax haven. It ranks highly on some international metrics, including economic competitiveness and human development. Its cities such as Zürich, Geneva, and Basel rank among the highest in the world in terms of quality of life, albeit with some of the highest costs of living in the world. In 2020, IMD placed Switzerland first in attracting skilled workers. The World Economic Forum ranks it the 5th most competitive country globally.
Switzerland is home to several large multinational corporations. The largest Swiss companies by revenue are Glencore, Gunvor, Nestlé, Mediterranean Shipping Company, Novartis, Hoffmann-La Roche, ABB, Mercuria Energy Group and Adecco. Also, notable are UBS AG, Zurich Financial Services, Richemont, Credit Suisse, Barry Callebaut, Swiss Re, Rolex, Tetra Pak, The Swatch Group and Swiss International Air Lines. Switzerland is ranked as having one of the most powerful economies in the world
Advantageous tax climate
Switzerland remains high atop the list of preferred tax havens due to its low taxation of corporations and individuals. Although Switzerland is no longer a place to “hide” money due to pressure from the United States and the European Union (EU), it still offers the important benefits for living and working.

GENEVA
Between the nearby peaks of the Alps and the mountain range of the Jura hills lies the French-speaking city of Geneva, on the bay where the Rhone flows out of Lake Geneva. The European headquarters of the UN and headquarters of the Red Cross is also called the “capital of peace”, combining a humanitarian tradition with a cosmopolitan air.
The symbol of the “smallest metropolis in the world” is the “Jet d’eau”, a 140 meter high water spout on the shore of Lake Geneva. On the right bank of the lake you will find most of the large hotels and many restaurants. Above the left bank is the old part of the city, the center of Geneva with its shopping and commercial district. This is dominated by the St-Pierre cathedral, although the center of the old town itself is the Place du Bourg-de-Four, considered the oldest square in the city. Docks, riverside promenades, abundant parks, lively alleys of the old town as well as elegant shops invite you to stroll. One of the best preserved old streets is the Grand-Rue, where Jean-Jacques Rousseau was born. The “Mouettes”, a kind of water taxi, allow you to navigate from one shore to another. There are also large boats that invite you to embark on cruises on Lake Geneva.
Geneva is the most international city in Switzerland, as it is the European headquarters of the UN. The International Red Cross also controls its humanitarian actions from here. Geneva is not only a congress center, but also a culture and history center, for fairs and exhibitions. The ‘Horloge Fleuri’, the flower clock in the English Garden (Englischer Garten) is a world-renowned symbol of Geneva’s watch industry.

“Like the swans that frolic on its eponymous Alpine lake (Europe’s largest), Geneva (Genève) is a rare bird. Constantly perceived as the Swiss capital (it isn’t), Switzerland’s second-largest city is slick and cosmopolitan, and its people chatter in almost every language among streets paved by gold”
