Spirit of Partnership
Europe's Fastest-Growing Independent Vet Network
Alignment, Not Acquisition
Smartemis is not here for quick returns or short-term financial engineering. The vision and strategy are expressed in decades — because sustainable growth for veterinarians requires thinking well beyond a 5-year investment window.
Together, we achieve what none of us could accomplish alone:
Stronger negotiating power
- Shared knowledge and collective intelligence.
- Access to infrastructure without sacrificing independence.
- Sustainable growth built on long-term vision.
We preserve autonomy while amplifying strength.
Protecting the Future of the Profession
We are deeply committed to sustainability — not just economic sustainability, but professional sustainability.
We believe in preserving veterinary medicine as a profession led by veterinarians.
We believe in protecting the ability of the next generation to become clinic owners.
Many young veterinarians dream of owning their own clinic. Yes, it can feel intimidating. Yes, financing and management can seem overwhelming. But that dream matters.
Smartemis exists to make that dream achievable.
When clinics succeed, veterinarians succeed. When veterinarians succeed, Smartemis succeeds. That is what the “spirit of partnership” is all about.
What Makes Us Different
- We are not a corporate consolidator.
- We are not a short-term investment vehicle.
- We are a long-term partner.
We stand for:
- Independence with strength
- Ownership with support
- Growth with integrity
- Collaboration over corporatization
Smartemis is a partnership between veterinarians and business people who share a common goal: preserving the future of the veterinary profession for the next generation.
Our Values are the Foundation of TRUST
At Smartemis, everything begins with trust.
Because without trust, true partnership is impossible.
That is why we have chosen five values that are not aspirational words — but practical commitments that guide how we work together every day.
Collaboration
Respecting each other's contributions and capabilities, and benefitting from our diversity to learn, grow and improve faster than we otherwise could.
Professionalism
Being excellent at what we do, and performing our responsibilities carefully, efficiently, and effectively – this does not mean that we are perfect, because none of us are perfect – but it means that we do our very best and are committed to getting a little bit better each and every day.
Accountability
We take personal responsibility for our words and our actions – we say what we plan to do, and then we do what we said that we would do – in this way we build trust and improve our performance as a team.
Transparency
We are open about what we do and how we do it, and are careful with our words in order to say what we know to be true – in this way others can trust what we say and we can rely upon each other for the mutual benefit of all.
Respect
We treat each other with respect, listening actively to understand and learn from each other, and appreciating the contributions of all.
