MADE IN SWITZERLAND

1648 was founded in Switzerland in 2013 with an initial focus on private equity, where we pioneered our Embedded Expertise approach by working intimately within portfolio companies to gain unparalleled strategic insight and operational leverage.

 

 

Today, we apply this same deeply integrated methodology to investment banking, combining hands-on execution with digital transformation to deliver tailored solutions that optimize performance and drive sustainable value creation.

VISION

In an evolving landscape of industry transformation and technological disruption, our mission is clear: to be the nexus of business and impact collaboration. We are dedicated to facilitating the exchange of ideas and resources, emphasizing the power of a shared economy.

 

By building robust networks and championing impact investments, we aim to drive business growth and social impact in tandem, ensuring that collaboration translates to tangible benefits for all stakeholders.
