Shaping Switzerland’s AI Future.
To secure Switzerland's long-term competitiveness, we are uniting forces in the Swiss AI Action Plan. Together with our members, federal authorities, and stakeholders, we define critical priorities—from infrastructure to governance—to actively shape Switzerland's positioning in the global AI landscape. We are convinced that a proactive approach is necessary not only to adapt to technological changes but to lead them toward the Global AI Summit Geneva 2027.
The rapid development of AI requires a coordinated national effort. Through national consultations via platforms and strategic formats like the Digital Gipfel, we enable our members to actively shape the agenda towards the Global AI Summit Geneva 2027. We are convinced that a proactive approach is necessary to not only adapt to technological changes but to lead them.
What we do
digitalswitzerland is spearheading the development of the AI Action Plan for Switzerland, with support from federal authorities. This initiative is the first of its kind globally, distinguished by its comprehensive stakeholder engagement and focus on delivering concrete actions.
Data is the raw material for Switzerland’s future prosperity, yet our ability to use it is currently hindered by technical barriers and a lack of standardisation. We must overcome the "data silos" that prevent organisations from sharing and leveraging information effectively.
We are actively setting the foundation for this shift by working to make high-value public data accessible and interoperable for secondary commercial and scientific use. In parallel, we are driving collaboration with the Swiss Data Alliance to design the specific data initiatives that will underpin the national AI Action Plan.
