digitalswitzerland empowers people and businesses through talent development, skills enhancement, and digital inclusion to secure Switzerland’s digital future.
We aim to secure a strong pipeline of qualified tech professionals to ensure economic competitiveness. We are dedicated to preparing the Swiss workforce for the future of work in the age of AI. Furthermore, we strive to increase digital competence across the entire population so that everyone can participate confidently in the digital world.
What we do
Addressing Skills Shortage: We work to increase the number of ICT professionals to guarantee competitiveness, specifically focusing on apprenticeships as highlighted by the "Bedarfsprognose 2033". We collaborate closely with ICT-Berufsbildung Schweiz on this mandate.
Enabling Transformation: We enable SMEs and members to master digital transformation by exchanging best practices on AI adoption and upskilling. Our "Playbook for AI Adoption" provides leaders with practical guidance to ensure long-term business success.
Society & Inclusion: We address public concerns to ensure everyone benefits from new technologies. We co-publish the "DigitalBarometer" to monitor public perception and drive e-accessibility as a co-founder of ADIS (Alliance for Digital Inclusion in Switzerland).
