Clients and Swiss Business Hubs
Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) works closely with various federal agencies. The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO commissions S-GE to promote export, and especially that of SMEs. The Liechtenstein Office of National Economy also mandates S-GE to support Liechtenstein exporters. In addition, SECO and the cantons mandate S-GE to promote Switzerland as a business location abroad. 

The global network of Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) also includes S-GE’s official representation in 26 target markets and regions (22 Swiss Business Hubs, 4 Trade Points). Swiss Business Hubs enjoy a special status in the target markets, since they form part of Swiss embassies or consulates; the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), which presides over all Swiss embassies and consulates, is S-GE’s most important contractual partner alongside the State Secretariat for Foreign Affairs (SECO).
