I was clearly speaking about companies.
In uk there is (was until one month ago) Arm holdings, in Silicon Valley I guess you should know, Samsung should be quite famous in the world, Sony and all the other Japanese companies the same.
Which big software/hardware company famous in all the world I'm missing in Switzerland?
- vidarh 10y agoI was responding to the association with computer science. In terms of companies, here's a few of the best known I'm aware of: An old infamous one: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG And a couple of major international ones: * Logitech (founded in Apples, Vaud) * STMicroelectronics (headquartered in Geneva; though it was a merger of a French and an Italian company) And a new but still quite well known security hardware one: * Silent Circle (security hardened smartphones) But as other have pointed out, in software/hardware Switzerland is doing best in R&D, not least because of the high salaries, and a lot of CS grads will also end up going into jobs in companies that are not necessarily hardware/software companies but that need a lot of CS talent (e.g. banks, high tech manufacturing).
