Switzerland - Gateway to Europe

PwC Switzerland (English)

Switzerland is a geographically small country in the heart of Europe, but not a member of the European Union - and at the same time one of the most powerful, internationally oriented economies. Japan and Switzerland are not only both strong, export-oriented economies, the two countries also share many values such as precision, innovation, and hard work. In light of this, it does not come as a surprise that Japan and Switzerland established their bilateral relations already 160 years ago.

With about 3,400 employees at 15 office locations, PwC is the largest professional services firm in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and it is also one of the most multilingual PwC firms in the global network, with employees from around 85 countries, including from Japan. PwC Switzerland serves more than 50 important Japanese companies, and since 2009 have set up a Japan Desk which specializes in international tax, in addition to a wide range of business advisory services, for Japanese investors.
