One of the top IT European companies, Sword Group, decides to double its nearshore footprint by taking over Bubble Go in Switzerland with the goal of better serving its private banking and luxury client activities in the way of delivery.
Sword Group Nearshore Expansion Strengthens
Switzerland’s IT landscape is seeing a major directional change in a very strategic way as Sword Group tightens its nearshore abilities in Europe with the take-over of Geneva-based Bubble Go. Not only is this step deepening Sword Group’s foothold in the Swiss market, but it also points to the ability of the organization to efficiently spread high-value IT service across Europe.
Expanding Nearshore Services Across Europe
A nearshore location in Lisbon allows Bubble Go to successfully channel its knowledge and skills gained from the private banking and luxury industries into innovative and secure IT solutions. It is obvious that there will be more facilities and business companies taking advantage of the pool of IT workers that is going to be available in Europe and the approach used in this case is to mirror the standards that are present in Switzerland as far as quality is concerned but at a lower cost of delivery seen in Europe.
The buyout is quite compatible with the general Sword Group target of developing adaptive and scalable IT services for customers in Europe. An offshore conception allows as well as faster project planning, greater fairness towards the needs of the clients and a wider access to the skills of the highly qualified professionals but at a better control of costs of operations.
Financial Performance and Growth Prospects
For 2024, Bubble Go’s numbers total a revenue of CHF6.1 million and it presents a forecast of CHF7 million for 2026 while still managing to be profitable according to the standards of the Sword Group. The numbers illustrate the strategic value of the acquisition, projecting that the stock will likely have a positive impact on the financial performance and operational efficiency of the Sword Group.
By integrating Bubble Go we are extending our nearshore program, expanding our European scope, and confirming our intention to provide the highly quality IT services in the sectors we have specialized in.”

Strategic Advantage for Swiss and European Clients
With this move, the Sword Group becomes available to the Swiss and European clients in a better way, such as the sectors that have a high value i.e. private banking, and luxury goods. A mixed local presence and nearshore expertise equip clients to receive solutions that are digitally tailored and are delivered in less time.
The nearshore hub in Lisbon gives the Sword Group access to a skilled IT workforce at a competitive cost, making it possible to undertake large and complex projects without limiting the quality of the delivery to the highest standards.
