Swiss data ecosystem

The aim of the Swiss data ecosystem project is to provide a common framework for the development of interoperable and trustworthy data spaces for public administration and interest groups from business, science and civil society. Providing a common framework will make it easier to set up data spaces and to use them more quickly.

Prototypes will be developed to test individual ideas, implement proofs of concept and gain critical knowledge. The results will feed into the development of a common framework.

The Swiss Data Ecosystem Contact Point began its work on January 15, supporting the creation of data spaces and facilitating the coordinated growth of an interoperable and reliable data ecosystem. This will make sharing data easier and create synergies.

The Swiss data ecosystem project combines the Digital Public Services Switzerland measure INMV0424 and the Federal Council decisions on the foundations of the Swiss data ecosystem. Stakeholder groups will be closely involved in various committees and in the development of prototypes. This will benefit Digital Switzerland by providing a framework for the interoperable and trustworthy use of data.
