  • In recent years, particularly after the global financial crisis, it has become increasingly apparent to Switzerland that society can no longer rely on large corporations or the state to create jobs. Instead, an entrepreneurial ecosystem and SMEs should be put forward as the backbone of the economy. Additionally, new organizational concepts and a shift in career trends for young talents have also had a radical impact on the working world. This is likely to continue in the future due to the effects of COVID-19.
