Customs regulations, data protection, special laws, marketing tools, sales platforms or special cultural characteristics: all markets are different and present specific challenges for Swiss exporters.
To support Swiss SMEs with their export project, Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) offers a range of consultations.
In an individual consultation, SMEs benefit from the expertise and network of an S-GE consultant. The meeting takes place either on company premises, over the telephone, video conference or at S-GE, depending on the customer's requirements.
In addition to the company and an S-GE consultant, an employee of the global S-GE network also participates in a country consultation. The network partner usually works in one of the 22 Swiss Business Hubs or 5 trade points, which are located at a Swiss Embassy or a Swiss Consulate-General. The country consultations are regularly held in Zurich, Lausanne, Lugano and Basel; they are non-binding and the first meeting is free of charge.

The key to success is the right network and expertise
Employees of the global S-GE network come to Switzerland on a regular basis to support SMEs in their export projects. According to Alberto Silini, Head of Consultancy at S-GE, they can provide crucial information: “These employees are well acquainted with the market and the underlying conditions in the respective country, have a broad network of relationships and can mediate business partners, customers and experts. Swiss SMEs are thus supported from export idea to implementation.”
