Growth entrepreneurship: unleashing local innovation

Why we invest in growth entrepreneurship

Millions of people around the world face limited access to income, stable employment, and economic inclusion. Structures that support entrepreneurship are often missing. Swisscontact addresses these gaps with projects that target the entire economic value chain. We help develop locally rooted frameworks and build economic communities that not only enable entrepreneurship but actively drive it forward – fairly, responsibly, and with a future-oriented mindset.

Our approaches

1. Achieving sustainable impact
   We combine economic growth with environmental responsibility, social inclusion, gender equality, and good governance.
2. Supporting organisations
   We work with incubators, accelerators, and other support structures to provide high-quality services for entrepreneurs.
3. Building skills
   Through training and coaching, we deliver practical knowledge – from business management to circular economy.
