Who is Team Switzerland Infrastructure?
SERV, Switzerland Global Enterprise S-GE, Swissmem, Swissrail, and suisse.ing, as well as relevant departments of the Federal Administration, work together under the umbrella of Team Switzerland Infrastructure. Together, we form a strong network that pools expertise, opens doors, and gives Swiss companies a boost worldwide.
Swiss Export Risk Insurance SERV
SERV covers exports of goods and services against political risks and del credere risk. Its insurance policies and guarantees protect Swiss exporters against payment defaults and facilitate export financing. In addition, SERV’s solutions help companies gain easier access to cheaper loans and higher credit limits, thereby securing their liquidity when exporting.
SERV is a public institution of the Swiss Confederation. It generates its income through risk-adjusted insurance premiums and is not financed by taxes.
Switzerland Global Enterprise S-GE
Switzerland Global Enterprise S-GE is the official Swiss organization for export promotion. As a private consulting and platform organization commissioned by the Federal Government and the cantons, with around 200 employees and more than 3,000 partners, S-GE supports Swiss companies worldwide in their international business and innovative foreign companies on their way to establishing themselves in Switzerland. S-GE is represented by its own teams in around 25 countries, including the Swiss Business Hubs (SBH), which are integrated into the diplomatic missions of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA).
Swissmem
Swissmem is the leading association for SMEs and large companies in the Swiss tech industry. As a bridge builder between Swiss industrial companies and international project clients, Swissmem brings the strengths of the Swiss economy to international infrastructure projects. Swissmem identifies suitable Swiss technology partners for Team Switzerland Infrastructure and brings them together as a powerful network of expertise for innovative projects.
Swissrail
Swissrail is the association for the Swiss rail and mobility industry. The association plays a central role in Team Switzerland Infrastructure, particularly with regard to the development and optimization of rail transport. Together with its members, Swissrail is crucial to the planning, implementation, and operation of modern infrastructure projects. Its goal is to equip large-scale infrastructure projects with innovative and energy-efficient technical solutions, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the Swiss mobility sector.
suisse.ing
suisse.ing represents the Swiss engineering and planning industry on behalf of Team Switzerland Infrastructure. The association supports its member companies in contributing their professional, technical, and planning expertise to international infrastructure projects at an early stage, particularly in the project development and concept phase. It promotes the positioning of Swiss engineering services abroad and coordinates exchange and cooperation between the players in the mandate. suisse.ing thus acts as a point of contact and representative of interests within the partner network.
State Secretariat for Economic Affairs
The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) promotes access for Swiss export companies to major infrastructure projects abroad on behalf of the Federal Council. To this end, Team Switzerland Infrastructure was created to exploit synergies between export promotion instruments, industry associations, and the relevant federal agencies. SECO also provides financial support to Team Switzerland Infrastructure in order to provide targeted assistance to the Swiss export industry in infrastructure projects.
