digital.swiss Platform on Digitalization

(ICTswitzerland, June 28, 2017)

“Inform, involve, initiate” is the motto of digital.swiss. This interactive platform for the digitalization of Switzerland was created in 2016 by ICTswitzerland and today is a joint project of ICTswitzerland, economiesuisse and digitalswitzerland. The platform visualizes and addresses digitalization opportunities and challenges for Switzerland. The current status of digitalization is measured by using 15 thematic categories and mapping their progress. A comprehensive update is now available with new indicators, parameters and all the databases and calculations, including freely available downloads. The indicators have been made more intuitive and understandable, e.g. showing where improvement is urgent. A lot of the data has also been updated, revealing the first emerging trends. The index shows a positive trend, and Switzerland appears well-positioned to master the challenges of digitalization.
