Business Succession in Switzerland:
A Strategic Priority

In Switzerland, technology SMEs are at the heart of innovation and digital transformation. They actively contribute to the country’s competitiveness on the international stage. Yet, their succession represents a major challenge.

With rapid technological evolution, talent shortages, and complex business models, finding successors capable of sustaining innovation is often difficult. The challenges are therefore both human and strategic.

Switzerland benefits from a favorable ecosystem for entrepreneurial succession, with a dense network of start-ups, incubators, and innovation programs. Growing investments in R&D and the appetite of buyers for innovative companies make the sector attractive.

By encouraging entrepreneurship and supporting the succession of IT SMEs, Switzerland strengthens its position as a global innovation hub.
