About S8nations
S8nations (“S8”) is a Swiss-based non-governmental organization comprising of a community of people from the most innovative countries. Founded by James Breiding, author of Swiss Made, which is considered the most authoritative work on Swiss innovation and achievement.
S8 is an alternative to the G7 or G20, showcasing that smaller, nimbler nations excel in tackling today’s global challenges. These nations are laboratories of innovation, leading in areas like sustainability, healthcare, and social cohesion. Our mission is to promote “leadership by example” by highlighting their achievements and fostering a global exchange of ideas. At S8, we believe that excellence matters, not size.
