Avenir Suisse
Fourteen Swiss companies operating internationally founded Avenir Suisse in 1999 as an independent think tank for Switzerland. Designed after the Anglo-Saxon model, its aim is to promote the social and economic development of Switzerland. It works on the premise that as a rule market forces must be given as much freedom as possible to develop. In contrast to the Swiss Business Federation (economiesuisse), Avenir Suisse does not take part in the lobbying process for new laws or in election campaigns.
