    A land with values.Reliability, punctuality, political and economic stability: Switzerland is

    proud o what it does best. And a lthough the country boasts unrivalled

    scenic beauty and variety, it has no raw materials which is why research

    and development are accorded such great importance. No other country

    in the world invests so much per capita in pure

    research and new technologies. Thankully,

    the results are there or a ll to see

    Success is also a question o quality o lie: how you do business is all

    about where you do business. So it is no surprise that many large com-

    panies choose Switzerland as the location or their European headquar-

    ters Google and Krat, to name just two. Support or their decision

    comes in the orm o an annual report by the consulting group Mercer,

    which compares the quality o lie in 215 cities around the world. Zrich

    regularly tops the rankings, with three other Swiss cities also making it

    into the top ten: a world record.

    O course, you can travel at great speed when you need to. Switzerlands

    public transport system can take care o that. But why always take the

    Direttissima? Might not an exclusive transer, or a small detour en route,

    provide a wonderul introduction to the whole Swiss experience? Aboard

    a special railway carriage, or example, where gastronomic delights

    compete or attention with the spectacular scenery, and anything can be

    served other than business as usual. Or how about a ride on one o the

    historic paddle steamers that ply the lakes?

    Between tradition and modernity.There are conerence centres at which the uture has already arrived:

    architectural gems, allied with dazzling technology. But there are also log

    cabins deep in the orest, where oice routine seems a distant memory

    and team spirit has a chance to lourish. Then there are the amous Swiss

    grand hotels, with their incomparable charm

    and personally run small enterprises where

    It is not about being dierent or the sake o it, but Switzerland has a

    long tradition o innovation and sometimes a little crazy thinking can

    move mountains. Talking o which: how about holding a seminar inside

    a mountain? Easily done, at a top-class business hotel in a ormer alpine

    artillery bunker. Or or an original way o breaking the ice, why not stage

    your presentation in an igloo complete with a warming ondue dinner

    under a starry sky? No one would give that idea the cold shoulder

    at lunchtime they are in short sleeves, eating beneath palm trees in warm

    sunshine; in the aternoon, they choose between a shopping expedition

    and relaxing by a lower-lined lakeshore; and in the evening, they tuck into

    a wholesome ondue high on the mountain slopes. Sounds exaggerated?
