The Swiss-Ukrainian Reconstruction Agency SURA
SURA is the leading, bilateral, non-governmental organization in Switzerland that facilitates Swiss companies’ engagement in Ukraine’s reconstruction process in a transparent and effective way.
We help companies identify and evaluate available projects, link them with the right partners in Ukraine and stand by them throughout the implementation process.
The challenge for a Swiss company is how to navigate the multiple sources of information and activities devoted to Ukrainian reconstruction that have mushroomed in Ukraine, Switzerland and globally.
It is difficult for Swiss SMEs and MNEs to clarify what is actually needed on the ground and how to offer products and services to successfully fulfill these needs.
This is where SURA comes in. SURA offers a single, unified Swiss-based platform to consolidate all Ukraine-related information and activities.
For Swiss companies, many of the viable reconstruction projects are on the municipal or regional levels. SURA can leverage its extensive network of contacts not only on the federal, but especially at the local level to help companies access these projects.
Once a project has been identified, SURA will provide guidance throughout the implementation process so companies avoid pitfalls and achieve results.
