2020|Dr Jelle Zijlstra 200 most-innovative and promising companies in Switzerland

How did this tiny landlocked country, with almost no natural resources of its own, become one of the world’s wealthiest countries, a worldwide financial capital, and home to some of the world’s best known and widely respected companies?

Every year, the Dr Jelle Zijlstra Award showcases the 200 most-innovative and promising companies in Switzerland. The selected TOP 200 companies are the world shapers of today and tomorrow. Switzerland is the home of excellent companies, and the TOP 200 list is a unique opportunity to discover the best of them. These multinational companies earned the accolade of the most valuable companies in Switzerland. New companies can be added during the year.

Since its inception in 1933, the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in The Netherlands (SCCN) has brought together the most extraordinary visionaries, heads of state, corporate leaders, and global experts towards the goal of increased cooperation and prosperity among nations. From this vantage point, the SCCN has instituted the Dr. Jelle Zijlstra Award in honour of this former Prime Minister of the Netherlands, President of De Nederlandsche Bank (the central bank of The Netherlands) and President of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland.
