W.I.R.E. – THE THINK TANK FOR THE ECONOMY, SOCIETY AND HEALTHCARE

W.I.R.E. is an independent think tank in Switzerland, which engages with global developments in trade and industry, society and the life sciences. Its aims are to consider critically our established ways of looking at things, to identify and clarify current trends, and to develop new concepts and ideas for the future. Based on an interdisciplinary approach to research, W.I.R.E. acts as a laboratory for the exchange of ideas and information between the worlds of academic theory and practical applications. It also provides a networking platform for players and thinkers from diverse spheres of activity and expertise.

Along with sponsorship from Bank Sarasin, the Collegium Helveticum of the ETH (Federal Technical University in Zurich) and the University of Zurich, W.I.R.E. enjoys the support of an international board of experts, pioneering thinkers and decision makers.
