The umbrella organisation for digitalisation in Switzerland.

Distributed Ledger Technology is a disruptive technology in Switzerland which is very technical and complex, offering multitude of different applications, which are hard to navigate. We want to simplify this technology and enable better understanding and usability.

Switzerland stands for decentralised prosperity which thrives from its regions. Regions hold enormous potential for the future, and they are home to most small and medium-sized enterprises. We celebrate each region’s digital strengths and come together as a strong digital nation with global impact. To do so, we collaborate with regional networks that draw from their unique assets, local structures, and already established models to promote the opportunities of digital transformation. Our initiatives grow from our regional hubs in Romandie, Bern area, north-western Switzerland, central Switzerland, Ticino and eastern Switzerland and are looking to expand even further.

Digital Health is pivotal to ensure that Switzerland’s healthcare system is efficient, cost-effective and patient-centric. A digital transformation will increase transparency, accessibility and understanding of health information for the entire Swiss population. All healthcare actors need to collaborate to transition the healthcare system to the digital space and create a population mindshift.

The digitalswitzerland Foundation offers a neutral space for dialogue allowing all interested parties to discuss the stakes of digitalisation in Switzerland. By organising regular interactions with the population, the Foundation identifies the hopes and fears that should be taken into account in concrete solutions to be implemented. In parallel, the Foundation once a year convenes the leaders of diverse stakeholders to facilitate the exchange of ideas, foster cooperation and stimulate innovative initiatives. These interactions bring a transversal approach to digitalisation which the Foundation disseminates in various forms, such as through events, reports, blogs and columns.

digitalswitzerland promotes high quality education, advanced skills development and the mainstreaming of lifelong learning in the digital field.

Some of the most pressing challenges cannot be solved alone. They require a multi-stakeholder approach to develop sustainable solutions for society and the economy.

We enable a meaningful dialogue with the public on digital transformation. We offer a platform for concerns, questions and topics by bringing together citizens with experts and policy makers.

digitalswitzerland believes that factors such as digital self-determination, cybersecurity, and interoperable data ecosystems are essential for an effective technological infrastructure and Switzerland’s successful digital transformation.

Digitalisation is a cross-cutting issue and a decisive factor that extends from health policy and security policy to media and financial policy. This is why a technology-savvy view of all dossiers and an open dialogue across the various disciplines are necessary. digitalswitzerland actively works to ensure that the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation are recognised and taken into account in the legislative process. We moderate between economy, politics, administration and academia. Our position is non-partisan and always aims to improve the well-being of Switzerland’s economy, government and administration.
