Some 130 multinationals already have a headquarters base in Geneva. Some of the reasons they have in common for choosing Geneva are the city’s central location in Europe and proximity to Africa and the Middle East, its quality of life, excellent infrastructure, highly educated and multilingual workforce, and stable and secure surroundings. International banks, world famous high-tech and biotech companies, as well as the world’s leading trading companies, have all chosen the city for their headquarters or a key office.
