Zurich is home to many leading companies who introduce cutting-edge innovation to the world. Some of them are the world’s widely used search engine – Google, the creator of the world’s happiest theme parks – Disney, and even the acclaimed Swiss Federal Institue of Technology (ETH).

Abundant creativity always keeps flowing in Zurich, thanks to one of the prominent universities in Europe dedicated to the Arts – Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). Institutes like the Kunsthaus Zürich, Haus Konstruktiv and Museum für Gestaltung are the guardians who ensure creativity and innovation continually thrive in Zurich.

World’s Financial Hub

Zurich rejoices status of a thriving destination of commerce since the early middle ages. The 1519 reformation bolstered the city’s economy, evolving it rapidly as Switzerland’s financial hub.
