“Like all countries in the world, Switzerland is facing the challenges of digital revolution. Transformation processes affect virtually every industry sector. The digitalswitzerland initiative aims to make our country, with its many advantages, talent and possibilities, a center of digital innovation in Europe. We cordially invite sponsors and mentors to join us and become active partners in shaping the digital future of Switzerland.”

Marc WalderCEO Ringier, President of the Steering Committee and initiator of digitalswitzerland

“Switzerland plays a leading role in many industries worldwide and is the number one in some of them. Nevertheless, in the age of digital transformation, we must pay heed to developing our position, especially in the area of digitization as well as to remaining a competitor. Targeted measures in the fields of economic and regulatory policy, education and human resources, finance, and promoting innovation create suitable conditions to further increase the location’s attractiveness for founders, young talent, digital entrepreneur and investors from around the world. With my commitment, I want to contribute to the development of the best possible overall conditions for our growing digital economy.”

Corine MauchMayor of Zurich

“The Swiss economy is highly innovative and internationally plays a leading role in many areas. Nevertheless, we have to come up with many new ideas, if we want to strengthen and expand this position further. Concrete, cross-sector commitment and interaction between personalities, companies and organizations are the key element for the successful digital transformation of Switzerland. Our commitment at digitalswitzerland enables us to achieve a great deal – as members, sponsors, donors and founders. We have so many possibilities. Now, it’s up to us to turn them into success.”
