The Swiss education system enjoys an excellent international reputation. Switzerland is one of the leading countries worldwide for new patent filings.
Under the EU agreement on the free flow of working people (Schengen agreement), Swiss companies are entitled to recruit skilled staff from all EU member countries without any problems.
One speciality of Switzerland is its multilingual education. The majority of the workforce can communicate in two to three languages (mostly in German, French and English and frequently in Italian, too).
