swiss software festival

The Swiss software industry has grown significantly over the past 25 years. We’ve also seen this in the rising numbers of qualifying companies and products using the swiss made software label. Our platform now has more than 1,300 members, with more than 800 products and services – and steadily increasing.

We want to celebrate the success of our sector once a year at the Swiss Software Festival. The first edition will take place in Basel on 24 June 2025, time, at address.

We want to provide a space to:

  • Cultivate dialogue and exchange, explore possible collaborations, initiate new projects
  • Showcase expertise, exchange knowledge, and learn new things
  • Strengthen the bonds between us and promote digital sovereignty in Switzerland

And this is what you can expect:

  • Networking among over 400 peers, including software providers, client companies, technology enthusiasts, and digitalization professionals
  • Two plenary sessions, including keynotes and panels on ‘The future of software development’ and ‘Digital sovereignty vs. global tech 0:1’ 
  • Four tech tracks: ‘Cyber Security’, ‘Cloud Native’, ‘Data Science and Artificial Intelligence’, and ‘Digital Experience’
  • Three industry tracks on: ‘Finance’, ‘Health’, and ‘Software Industry Leaders’
  • One special track: ‘Swiss AI Sovereignty’
