With its wealth of know-how in various sectors, Switzerland confirms year after year its position in the precision industries, at the forefront of the most advanced processes. In a ranking published by the UN last February, Switzerland came second among the countries best prepared for frontier technologies, behind only the United States.
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) had already ranked Switzerland first in its e-commerce index. According to the same source, frontier technologies, notably artificial intelligence and big data, represent a market of around 316 billion francs.
