BCV has close ties to organizations throughout French-speaking Switzerland that support economic growth in the canton, including for companies that are in the start-up phase or are changing hands. That’s why we’re involved in many seminars and information sessions organized by these partners.
CVCI
The Vaud Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CVCI) conducts business surveys twice a year. The results, which are presented at various times around the canton, provide important insights into the economic environment and where it is headed.
Relève PME
Small businesses are a key component of Switzerland’s economy. When they change hands, Relève PME can help ensure the process goes smoothly. It puts together information sessions and workshops for incoming and outgoing business owners.
Genilem
Genilem Vaud-Geneva and the Centre Patronal organize an important gathering for startups and the entrepreneurs behind them. The event, called Carrefour des Créateurs, includes exhibitions, seminars and discussions with experts.
Innovaud
Innovaud helps innovative projects based in Vaud Canton get financing, premises and expert advice. It also organizes networking events and provides small businesses with communication tools aimed at increasing their visibility.
The Centre Patronal and the Fédération Vaudoise des Entrepreneurs
The Centre Patronal provides useful information and advice to businesses and professional groups. The Fédération vaudoise des entrepreneurs (FVE) is the largest grouping of employers in the construction industry in Vaud canton. Its member companies are active in structural work, finishing and metal construction.
With the support of the Centre Patronal and the FVE, BCV organizes meetings between professionals in a particular sector and BCV representatives in order to discuss business trends in that sector.
BCV is also a partner of the Micro MBA in business management offered by Romandie Formation, a department of the Centre Patronal.
