We are sailing off to new waters!

Since 2013, the Swiss Bluetec Bridge has reached more than one million people (end 2019) through providing interest free loans and knowhow to Swiss entrepreneurs. We are immensely proud of what we have achieved together: many entrepreneurs whom we supported managed to establish themselves as successful players in difficult contexts; several are now ready for scale-up!

This 8-min. video* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3vn7_LoAJY tells the story of some of the entrepreneurs who were bold enough to take up our challenge: provide clean, affordable and lasting drinking water, irrigation and sanitation services to people at the base of the revenue pyramid in developing and emerging countries.

But then – as the saying goes – all good things must come to an end. The Swiss Bluetec Bridge is being phased out to make room for new projects and financial instruments, in part also inspired by our learning. Yet, its entrepreneurs will continue to be out there doing their great work. And the spirit of the Swiss Bluetec Bridge continues to live on through the SWEP (www.water-entrepreneurship-pact.ch), the https://sswm.info/perspective/affordable-water-and-sanitation-solutions as well as many other initiatives!

* Note that the figures in the video refer to end 2018.
