"At the international exhibition "CHEMISTRY-2019", which is currently taking place in Moscow, we met with representatives of the Embassy of Switzerland who invited us to consider the possibility of organizing business in their country. This corresponds to the plans of the company: the Engineering Center of Chemical Technology of Tomsk State University has branches in Moscow Skolkovo and Novosibirsk Academpark, our strategy involved offices opening in St. Petersburg and Europe", – Knyazev said.
He specified that they had discussed with the embassy representatives the conditions that would need to be met to register a legal entity in Switzerland.
In particular, to start and pay all duties it will be necessary to have about 50 thousand francs (about 3 million rubles), a Swiss citizen should be the director of the company. It is also necessary to choose a territory with a suitable tax jurisdiction (there are several of them in the country), with taking into account the location of companies that in the future may become direct partners of the TSU ECCT.According to Knyazev, they need an office in Europe to interact with European companies: "We plan to work with a large number of European partners – large chemical companies. It is advisable to be closer to them, to be in their jurisdiction, because they do not always understand how to work with Russian companies, although interest in interacting with Russian business is rather high there".
