Xing on the upswing in Switzerland

More and more Swiss people are networking via the social business network Xing. Compared to the previous year, Hamburg-based Xing AG has recorded a 46 percent increase in members in Switzerland. According to the press release, over 200,000 specialists and managers in German-speaking Switzerland are already using the platform. It is particularly popular in the major cities. In Bern and Basel, Xing has recorded up to 30 percent more members within a year. With almost 70,000 users, professionals in Zurich make up the largest Xing member base in Switzerland.
However, more and more members are no longer just networking online, but also offline. For example, the moderators of the official "Xing Treffen Zürich" group regularly invite their members to local events. With around 11,000 members, this is the largest official regional group outside of Germany.
