The region's well established and recognized capabilities in leading-edge research are complemented by the arrival of numerous company global and regional headquarters. Today, the region is equally famous in telecommunications, life sciences, finance, trading, watch-making, precision engineering, consumer products and pharmaceuticals.  A great pool of professionals is available thanks to the excellent academic infrastructure. Links between research, university hospitals and private industry are strongly encouraged and technology transfer facilitated.
