Strengthening global partnerships
Building international relationships is essential for maintaining the UK’s world-class science and research capabilities and industry strengths.
In 2022 the UK and Switzerland governments signed a memorandum of understanding deepening the relationship between the two countries, harnessing the collective strengths of two powerhouse nations.
With a cumulative total of 10 of Europe’s top 20 research universities between them, the collaboration spans across three pivotal pillars:
deep science
industrial commercialisation
international standards and regulation
This bilateral relationship represents a significant opportunity for both nations to collaborate on research and innovation. By combining resources, expertise and talent, the UK and Switzerland aim to achieve advancements that benefit both countries and drive mutual growth.
