Have you founded a company abroad?

Hosted by:

In my work, I focus on topics that are relevant to Swiss citizens abroad – from political developments in Switzerland and their impact on the diaspora to social, economic, and cultural issues. Before joining SWI swissinfo.ch, I worked as a local journalist for the Aargauer Zeitung. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Multilingual Communication and, as is typically Swiss, completed an apprenticeship as a commercial employee.

Avez-vous créé votre propre entreprise à l’étranger?

Tell us about your path to self-employment abroad.

More and more Swiss are setting up their own businesses abroad – driven by opportunity, conviction or a desire for adventure. Some set up a business because they see greater opportunities in other markets.

For an upcoming series, Swissinfo focusing on Swiss entrepreneurs outside Switzerland.

We are interested in your personal journey: How does being Swiss shape your experience in an international environment? Your insights could inspire – and help – other Swiss Abroad considering a similar path.

Share your experiences in this debate.

I have not established any companies abroad. Throughout my entire professional career, I have worked in Switzerland.

We founded the company in Germany and built it up there. Funnily enough, we are now expanding back into Switzerland ;)

Wir haben in Deutschland gegründet und da die Company aufgebaut. Expandierne nun lustigerweise wieder in die Schweiz;)
