You mean "known for", no?

Well, Switzerland is known for chocolate and watch production, its mountains (the alps), direct democracy, neutrality. It's a financial global-player, has one of the highest percentages of bio-tech companies, it has the headquarters of UEFA and FIFA (Europe's and world's soccer organisations), it's famous for education (having a world's top 3 ranking for Nobel Prizes per capita). It's also a global-player in nutrition (Nestlé) and has the headquarters of the INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS. Besides the USA, Switzerland has the second "headquarters" of the UN in Geneva. The country is famous for international meetings.

Although Switzerland is not a member of the EU (European union - overall an economic agreement), the country is considered as model for such a union (including Europe's countries) - as Switzerland has four official languages and is known as "exemplar acknowledgement between different cultures".
