Thinking of Relocation? Switzerland Leads the Competitiveness Ranking.
Switzerland is back at the top: According to the latest IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025 (www.imd.org/centers/wcc), Switzerland holds the number one position among the world’s most competitive economies.
What makes Switzerland so strong? The study highlights in particular government efficiency and world-class infrastructure. As one of the world’s premier business locations, the country offers a uniquely attractive package of competitive advantages such as:
- Sustainable and competitive tax environment
- Political stability and a healthy national budget
- Flexible labor market with a skilled workforce
- Strong culture of innovation and access to top universities
- High productivity combined with an exceptional quality of life
Switzerland also offers a strategic geographic advantage. Located in the heart of Europe, it provides seamless access to both EU and global markets. For international companies looking to expand, this makes the country an ideal base for European operations.
Over the years, I had the chance to support many international companies with their relocation and reorganization plans. Whether during roadshows abroad, as part of PwC’s India Desk, or advising multinational companies – practical experience has clearly shown me which factors make a location like Switzerland especially attractive for international businesses.
In an increasingly complex global landscape, choosing the right location has become even more of a fundamental strategic decision.
