ENERGY

Switzerland is a global cleantech leader, advancing energy efficiency, renewables, and grid innovation through research excellence, industry strength, and bold national strategy.

Switzerland combines world-class science, industrial precision, and long-term energy policy. It is home to ETH Zurich and EPFL, two of the world’s top engineering institutions, where foundational work in grid resilience, energy systems modelling, and power electronics drives global innovation. Switzerland’s energy workforce exceeds 200,000 people, and the sector is anchored by players like Alpiq, BKW, Axpo, and Romande Energie. The country leads in hydroelectric expertise and energy management technologies. Federal initiatives like SWEET by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) fund multi-year, cross-sector R&D creating a national testbed for intelligent, low-carbon systems. For companies active in power, infrastructure, software or services, Switzerland offers direct access to the people, institutions and public frameworks building tomorrow’s energy economy.
