Top-class specialists are educated in the breeding grounds for talent like the computer science departments at the ETH Zurich and the EPFL. They often bring their new knowledge and their ideas to the market independently, which lays the ground for a dynamic start-up and spin-off scene. The environment is also excellent for the growth areas of app and games development.
