Colorful and diverse: what a digital future might look like
More than 200’000 people experienced the Digital Day 2017 in person, and as many again engaged with it digitally. Over 100 events took place in the train stations of Zurich, Chur, Geneva and Lugano, as well as in many other locations across Switzerland. From a digital classroom to a ballet with drones, the Digital Day was colorful and showed us what a digital future could look like.
However, with change there also comes insecurity. Is digitization really as bright as promised? Addressing fears and insecurity was another goal of the Digital Day – because there are always two sides of the same coin. For digitalswitzerland the cup is half full and its mission is to unfold the country’s digital potential and make Switzerland a leading digital innovation hub. Worldwide!
