瑞士商务促进中心（日本）

The Swiss Business Hub Japan offers free, confidential and hands-on support throughout the entire exploration and establishment process. This includes market intelligence, introductions to cantonal authorities and Switzerland Innovation Parks, fact-finding missions and ongoing guidance after landing. As an official organization mandated by the Swiss Confederation and the cantons, Switzerland Global Enterprise is a neutral and trusted first point of contact for Japanese companies considering FDI or R&D collaboration in Switzerland.

Although Switzerland has relatively high salary and living costs, companies benefit from access to a highly skilled and multilingual workforce. In addition, income tax, social security, and pension contributions are often lower than in many other European countries, meaning that the overall cost burden for employers may not be significantly different in practice. Switzerland also offers a high degree of political and economic stability, supported by its long-standing neutrality. Furthermore, corporate tax rates are comparatively attractive by European standards. 

Yes. Switzerland is located at the heart of Europe and is closely integrated with the EU through an extensive network of bilateral agreements. Companies based in Switzerland benefit from excellent transport links, a highly international business environment and access to key European markets. Switzerland is therefore well suited for European headquarters, R&D centres and other high-value activities, particularly for Japanese companies in sectors such as life sciences, advanced manufacturing, robotics and clean technologies.
