Events and travel

Switzerland has a very good, secure and competitive financial centre. It is thus keen to be recognised in the global market and emphasises the strengths of the Swiss financial centre at events and during trips.

Switzerland has one of the best, most secure and most competitive financial centres in the world thanks to its excellent framework conditions. In order for this to be perceived in the global market, the FDF strives to communicate about the Swiss financial centre, provide information, coordinate the activities of those involved and open doors for the sector with regard to international business.

The activities that come under the heading «Events and travel» serve a financial market policy that emphasises the strengths of the Swiss financial centre and actively safeguards Switzerland's interests. To ensure the broadest feasible support, all of the sector's players active in foreign business are included insofar as possible.
