Politico-Economic Environment

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.

The Public Affairs Committee is digitalswitzerland’s primary body for the discussion and evaluation of political issues pertaining to digitalisation. Where necessary and appropriate, digitalswitzerland’s concerns are communicated to politicians and the public in the form of statements, position papers or at events.

In the national parliament, digitalswitzerland is part of Parldigi, the parliamentary group for digital sustainability. Together, we regularly organise session events on current digital policy issues.

digitalswitzerland advocates for clear understanding and favourable framework conditions enabling the successful digitalisation of Switzerland. Where appropriate, statements and position papers are elaborated for the attention of policy-makers, and information and discussion events are organised.

Political positions taken by digitalswitzerland reflect exclusively the opinion of the digitalswitzerland Association and its members, and not the position of the Foundation members.

digitalswitzerland keeps its members up to date – with regular mailings and newsletters, the association informs about recent developments in Swiss, European and global digital politics.
