The company’s Vision is to become the global leader in “Mobility by Apps” for smartphone users
and boomed tablet costumers.
We are seek to harvest the company within a 2-3 year time frame. The most likely scenario is that
we serve 1-2 strategic partners in each industrial funtion, namely, academy and research,
enterprises commercial, photography online community, etc.
With 3rd year sales of 10 mm (forecasting) and a profit of 7 mm, Swissmic SA would still be
positioned as a hidden gem with highest ROI and high-margin products, because we are market-
directed, demands-sensitive, tech-leading, and all in sum, promising.
