Zurich is the largest Swiss city and one of the most influential in the world. For a few consecutive years, Zurich has been ranked as the city where the quality of life is the highest. It has beautiful green areas, well-developed infrastructure and great opportunities for education and work. However, it also among the most expensive globally. The city is one of Europe's key financial centers. Most Swiss banks have headquarters here as well as the Swiss Stock Exchange ( SIX Swiss Exchange). This sector generates around a third of its GDP and employs a quarter of all workforce. The other leading industries are gold trading, biotechnology, medicine, automotive, aerospace, textiles, and tourism. Switzerland also has low tax rates – an additional benefit for international companies which rent business premises in Zurich. For instance, over 250 hi-tech firms and research institutions are based in Zurich Technopark. It is not surprising that the city offers a vast array of business centers, where one can find ultra-modern flexible office space with facilities often included in the price.
