Switzerland
When Swiss companies look towards Germany, they are increasingly focusing their attention on Saxony-Anhalt. Not without reason: Successful companies have already made the move to Saxony-Anhalt and are benefiting from the complimentary service package provided by the Investitions- und Marketinggesellschaft Sachsen-Anhalt (IMG). This includes individual advice for all matters, the highlighting of subsidy options, the search for suitable locations and support of the interests of Swiss companies vis-a-vis regional representatives from politics, business and culture.

Switzerland and Germany are traditionally closely connected to one another in terms of business. This is particularly clear in foreign trade and direct investments. Germany is the leading trading partner in Swiss foreign trade, with regard to import and export. In 2009, goods to the value of approximately 54 billion Swiss francs were imported from Germany. Swiss companies exported goods to the value of approximately 35 billion Swiss francs. In terms of foreign direct investments in Germany, Switzerland is in seventh position. With regard to the development of foreign direct investments in Germany, Switzerland recorded the largest growth between 2008 and 2009 and was only seconded by the USA.
