EBP Schweiz AG

What EBP Schweiz AG does

EBP Schweiz AG is a family-owned Swiss consulting and engineering firm headquartered at Mühlebachstrasse 11 in Zurich, with a stated team of over 400 experts drawn from more than 60 disciplines. The firm organizes its services into six core areas — Information Technology (Data Science, ICT Consulting, Software Development), Infrastructure + Buildings (including BIM + Life Cycle Data Management, Real Estate, Civil Engineering, Sustainable Building, Building Technology), Spatial Development + Transport, Environment + Energy, Economy + Society, and cross-cutting advisory (Strategy, Sustainability in Business, Law, Security, Communication) — supplemented by an Academy offering for training and continued professional education.

The firm's revenue model is professional services: project-based, quote-driven consulting and engineering engagements with bespoke interdisciplinary teams assembled per client challenge. Its go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, distributing through direct enterprise and government engagement rather than channel partners. Public sector and government clients are the primary vertical, with notable work for the Swiss Federal Government on the MehrSpur Zürich–Winterthur rail project and for the UN Convention on Biological Diversity on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework; private sector clients include Sunrise on sustainable mobility initiatives. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

EBP operates from offices in seven countries — Switzerland, Germany, the United States, Brazil, Chile, China, and India — supporting cross-border mandates in infrastructure, environment, energy, mobility, and economic development. The firm has been family-owned for more than 50 years, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity in the available data.
