Data

Raw material for Switzerland's Future Prosperity

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. To maintain our position as a leading hub for research and business, we must overcome the "data silos" that prevent organisations from sharing and leveraging information effectively.

What we do

  • 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.

Parliament Sets Course for National Data Standards

By approving a new constitutional article for technical standards and advancing the "Once-Only" data principle, the Council of States has laid the groundwork for an integrated, "AI-ready" administration. This legislative push is a strategic cornerstone for Switzerland’s ambition to position itself as a premier global hub for trusted AI innovation.
