IFBC Review

The world is undergoing a realignment. The concentration of geopolitical power and the erosion of rule-based cooperation are increasingly leading to market fragmentation. As a result, energy, technology, and finance are becoming key factors shaping Switzerland as a business location. These include globally competitive energy prices, digital sovereignty, and a strong financial centre.

‍

Companies in Switzerland face the strategic challenge of positioning themselves internationally, which is often realised through acquisitions. In 2025, Swiss buyers acquired over 300 companies abroad. The technology-driven transformation of the economy also presents a significant opportunity. Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, software, and data are rapidly giving rise to innovative new forms of productivity and value creation. This is sometimes achieved with fewer human resources, but with increased energy and capital requirements. IFBC supports companies in this challenging environment. Through dialog, sector expertise, and proven competence in Corporate Finance and M&A, we help structure decisions, facilitate transactions, and create sustainable competitive advantages for our clients.

This year, we are continuing to support companies with complex challenges relating to business models and strategic positioning.

We hope you enjoy reading our review of highlights, challenges and success stories and look forward to our next conversation.
