SICPA Receives Best Swiss Company Award

SICPA, which is headquartered in the Swiss canton of Vaud and is a leading supplier of tax stamp and government revenue solutions, has received an award for Best Swiss Company, one of three Vaud International Business Awards bestowed annually on companies in the region. The other two categories are Best Foreign Company and a Special Jury award.

The awards, designed to showcase three thriving local businesses that have also made a name for themselves internationally, are presented every year by the Vaud Department of Economy, Innovation, Employment and Heritage, the Vaud Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Innovaud, an innovation and investment promotion agency for the canton.

The awards were introduced in 2014 to recognise local companies that had successfully expanded internationally, and that had also played a role in boosting Vaud’s image abroad and creating jobs at home.

With regard to the Best Swiss Company award, additional criteria for selecting the winner consisted of how much the company helped train local workers, whether it had any joint R&D programmes, and how much of its revenue was generated internationally.

One of SICPA’s projects that would certainly have contributed to it receiving the award is the new ‘unlimitrust’ campus that the company opened in the second half of 2022, close to its headquarters. The campus aims to provide a safe environment for the development of systems and technologies in the field of digital trust and cybersecurity.

unlimitrust provides physical and digital meeting spaces for SICPA employees, start-ups, companies, investors, academics and other stakeholders involved in the field of trust technologies, to collaborate on ideas that will shape the trust economy.
