Leap, a digitalswitzerland programme and the Swiss platform for multi-stakeholder innovation, has recently conducted a Sustainability Workshop Series. Participating stakeholders have jointly created ideas for innovative projects focusing on Decarbonisation and Circular Economy. Leap is now combining these ideas with their submitted Innosuisse Flagship Initiative pre-proposal, which means that several public and private organizations are already keen on implementing these ideas in form of multi-stakeholder projects.

The Swiss Digital Initiative (SDI) is in the process of creating the Digital Trust Label (DTL), a label that denotes the trustworthiness of a digital service in clear visual plain non-technical language. It represents a mark of confidence that a service provider takes its promise of meeting consumer expectations seriously.
The DTL is based on a controllable and auditable list of guarantees which a service will provide. The SDI is now conducting an open public consultation on the latest version of the label and welcomes all constructive feedback, inputs and comments until 9 April 2021.
Please find more information on how to be a contributor to the DTL.

For the organizers of the Digital Days, inertia would be fatal for Switzerland as a center of innovation. Since the digitalization push intensified by Corona, there is an even greater need for action.
The Swiss Federal Council has set the 2050 climate strategy for Switzerland as part of the Paris Agreement. To achieve the common goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C, economy, technology, and science experts must work together. However, such multi-stakeholder collaboration also requires data transparency for the green transition of whole value chains on the way to a net-zero economy in Switzerland. Leap by digitalswitzerland aims to lay the foundation for co-creating sustainable innovation projects on how digital technologies can contribute to decarbonisation.
