Inspiration & Networking

We’re proud to have a valuable cross-industry network. We bring together stakeholders from different industries, foster dialogue and diminish industry and competitor-based thinking. This allows us to drive innovation. We break silos, offer inspiration and the opportunities to thrive. Our goal is to create an environment for more innovation where you can learn about new trends in digital transformation.

We think that the most innovative people and organisations should be awarded and showcased to inspire others. We want to let you shine.

Expand your business network with customised contacts based on your interests. This matchmaking tool creates the opportunity to collaborate, find inspiration, discuss solutions and expand knowledge. Learn from others through the exchange of insights and experiences. This is an excellent opportunity to build new business relationships within our multi-stakeholder member community.

This prestigious format gives members insights from keynote speakers on various topics related to digital transformation. It connects decision makers from industry, academia, business and politics. The aim is to support and drive change. The Swiss Digital Summit makes an important contribution to help shape and tackle the complex effects of digitalisation in Switzerland.

We offer inspiration and networking opportunities for a successful WEF day. Our members can network with top executives and C-Level attendees at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Enjoy inspiring key note speeches that kick-off a programme of events full of energy, excitement and inspiration.

In this weekly short-form podcast, we take you beyond the usual techie jargon, and teach you something new about the latest developments in technology with leaders from some of Switzerland’s most inspiring thought leaders and innovative Startups – all in around 10 minutes. In other words, no tech background required, your curiosity is all that’s needed!

In partnership with Bilanz and Handelszeitung, digitalswitzerland embarks on the exciting quest to identify and celebrate the 100 people advancing Switzerland on its journey to become a leading global digital hub of innovation.

To promote and celebrate this special campaign, we hear from some Shapers from the ten varied categories.

In partnership with EPFL and IMD, our members are invited to discuss Switzerland’s digital competitiveness. This event follows the annual IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking. Taking place in Lausanne, it is a chance for members and renowned experts to assess Switzerland’s strengths and weaknesses. Through networking and the sharing of key insights, we foster an environment to advance Switzerland as a leading digital innovation hub.

We’re proud to co-host the Swiss Digital Economy Award with SwissICT at Hallenstadion Zurich. The aim of the event is to showcase and award organisations for their most exciting digital innovation projects. We welcome a wide range of nominees from corporates, NGOs, SMEs and Startups. We also celebrate our “NextGen Heroes.” The winners are two young people who inspire through special merits and successes in the digital field. We are looking forward to an exciting and entertaining evening, with lots of opportunities for networking.

Our Inspirational Sessions are exclusive events for digitalswitzerland members. Every session is designed with three goals in mind. The aims are to share knowledge, offer inspiration and network. Often co-organised with our members, we cover varied topics. From AI for good, the balance between the online and offline worlds, the future of work to the latest trends and technologies – we have our finger on the pulse of digital transformation.

Our members benefit from the comprehensive monitoring of the digital policy of the federal government and the cantons. Furthermore, digitalswitzerland regularly publishes an outlook and review of the sessions of the national parliament.

Together with the two parliamentary groups ePower and Parldigi, we regularly hold session events on current digitalisation topics. These information and networking events are exclusively available to our members and promote the important dialogue between politicians, administrative representatives and decision-makers in the private sector.
