  • Optimal exam preparation for prospective property professionals

    Optimal exam preparation for prospective property professionals

    The member organisations SVIT Bern, SVIT Eastern Switzerland, SVIT Central Switzerland and SVIT Zurich are intensively involved in the training of their apprentices. One outstanding example of these endeavours is the three-day “QV-Campus” launched by the SVIT Young Zurich youth commission in 2017. This campus offers apprentices optimal preparation for the company qualification process (final apprenticeship examination).

    The graduates of this year’s campus have just received their exam results. As every year, most of the participants scored above average, which makes the association proud and emphasises the high quality of their training.

    During the QV-Campus, participants were tested in industry-specific lessons without grades in order to specifically identify and close any gaps in their knowledge. The most important exam topics were taught by experienced QV exam experts. The programme also included overcoming exam anxiety and various learning techniques. On request, learners received further support on site or via Zoom until the exam.

    With around 40 third-year learners taking part, the “QV-Campus” can be considered a success. The high level of motivation of all those involved contributed significantly to the positive outcome. “It gave me a wake-up call!” commented one participant, who was now also able to gain new and exciting insights into the subject of “Taxation”. Another participant commented: “I had planned to study intensively for four weeks before the QV, but after the QV-Campus I realise that this is not enough.”

    For many young people, activities such as going out, friends and sport take centre stage, and they often lack the motivation and ambition to prepare for their exams in a timely and structured manner. This is precisely where the QV-Campus comes in, by guiding apprentices to plan properly and showing them that relaxation and proper preparation are crucial for a successful apprenticeship qualification.

    After the Campus is before the Campus.

    Are you in your 3rd year of apprenticeship and want to be optimally prepared for the company qualification process?

  • New investor for sustainable construction start-ups

    New investor for sustainable construction start-ups

    Buildify.earth was founded with the vision of supporting sustainable innovation in the construction industry. The investment company is particularly involved in the early development phases of start-ups and offers not only capital but also access to an extensive network. This network has been established over the years as part of the development of Switzerland Innovation Park Central, NEST and other organisations and is a valuable asset for the supported companies.

    Strategic partnerships and long-term goals
    Eight years ago, planning began for the location of the Innovation Park in Central Switzerland, which opened its doors in Rotkreuz in 2019 and has officially been part of Switzerland Innovation since 2021. The park now has over 100 members, including well-known players in the Swiss construction industry and research institutions. This network provides direct access to decision-makers and a platform for start-ups to forge important collaborations in a traditionally risk-averse industry.

    Provision of funding and resources
    The funds provided by private investors, the Zuger Kantonalbank and the park itself, which amount to a single-digit million sum, will enable buildify.earth to make significant initial investments, which are to be announced soon. The investment pipeline is richly filled, including 40 startups that are already members of the park. Buildify.earth AG takes a flexible role as a co-investor that can act quickly and act as a catalyst for further investments.

    Long-term planning and open doors for further investors
    Reto Largo and Sem Mattli, the heads of buildify.earth, are not only looking for promising start-ups, but also for further investors to strengthen the capital of the company’s evergreen structure. This structure fits well with the long innovation cycles in the construction sector and allows a portion of the proceeds to be reinvested while seeking attractive returns for investors. This is just the beginning of a long-term strategy aimed at making substantial investments in promising start-ups and actively shaping the future of the sustainable construction industry.
