We recently held a very informative and helpful event for those interested in relocating to Switzerland. Finding sponsorship, housing, and setting up necessary accounts and services can be a daunting task, so having a resource to turn to for guidance can make the process much easier. It's important to do thorough research and seek out reliable information when making such a big decision, and events like this provide valuable information and support. Best of luck to those who attended our event and are considering a move to Switzerland!
