Switzerland’s Digital Future Facts, Challenges, Recommendations

“The world is changing rapidly and the business mix of entire countries is evolving to meet that changing world. However, this evolution is happening unevenly in different countries and regions around the world. The original motivation for this research project was provided by the report, “The Future of the Networked Society,” published last year by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute (GDI). It was a foresight and technology forecasting exercise that described different scenarios for Switzerland’s digital future. The purpose of this report is twofold: to clearly describe Switzerland’s current situation, especially in comparison to other potential leaders in a not so far off digital future; to provide recommendations that would enable Switzerland to become a leader in a variety of different sectors.”
