Editor's Notes
- The global innovation index INSEAD Rank: Switzerland 1, US 5, Germany 15, Korea 18 Switzerland is global leader in innovation (No 1 in INSEAD Global Innovation Index 2012) Switzerland is the most competitive country (WEF Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014) SMEs form the backbone of the Swiss economy by employing 66% of the total workforce in Switzerland
- University rankings Scientific pub Patents (we like to apply technology) Large companies and foreign R&D Centres Small and innovative SMEs (hidden champions)
- Similarities Mainly differences Start-up system in different stage (more matured in CH) and different style (CH start-up Korean company) BUT…as Korean start-ups get stronger We can learn from each other Not competitors
