Switzerland: Europe's most
innovative country
|
When it comes to innovation, Switzerland is Europe's front-runner. No other European country produces more
registered patents, trademarks and designs per capita than Switzerland.
|
According to the most recent European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS 2009), Switzerland outpaced the Scandinavian
countries Sweden and Finland for the second time in a row. Switzerland had been holding the top position in
2008 already and could even extend its innovative lead in 2009.
With its highly qualified workforce and due to outstanding efforts in fields of R&D, innovation in technology
and intellectual property, Switzerland is well above the European average for most EIS 2009 indicators.
A Swiss specialty is the high number of small and medium-sized companies (SME) which successfully manage to
thrive in a global market with their innovative products and manufacturing technology.
