Switzerland once again clinched the No. 1 spot in a global survey on fostering and attracting talent, edging out the U.S. and Singapore, according to the Global Talent Competitiveness Index published by French business school, INSEAD. Europe dominated the highest positions, with only seven non-European countries in the top 20. As was the case in previous years, “the best-ranked countries include a significant number of small high-income economies, many of them being either landlocked, island or quasi-island economies,” INSEAD said.
