Pathfinding Strategy

The SERV Pathfinding Strategy: A groundbreaker for Swiss SMEs in the international market

SERV helps Swiss SMEs achieve success in global markets. Through our Pathfinding Strategy, we offer a unique service that facilitates access to international large projects for Swiss SMEs and strengthens their competitiveness.

Strategic partnerships for global projects

Demand for extensive infrastructure projects is growing worldwide. We support Swiss SMEs by using our global network to bring them together with international general contractors (EPCs). Our support enables SMEs to participate in major international projects, even if they lack their own extensive networks or resources to complete the acquisition. For example, our support was key to the participation in building a 330 kilometre-long motorway in Türkiye.

Comprehensive support and security

Our role does not just involve providing contacts. SERV performs thorough due diligence checks on projects and EPCs. We evaluate risks and ensure compliance with sustainability criteria and international standards. This creates a solid basis for Swiss SMEs to participate in large projects without having to bear the financial risk themselves.

Payment guarantee through SERV

Another key advantage of our support is the payment guarantee. SERV enables direct payments from the bank to Swiss exporters, thereby excluding the risk of non-payment by the EPC. As a result, SMEs don’t need to worry about financial uncertainty, and can focus on their core skills and completing the project instead.
