SIF/FIND Pathway 2035 – Digital Trust Infrastructure as a Cornerstone for Switzerland’s Financial Future
The media release is an official statement by the Swiss Federal Government announcing the strategic direction and implementation steps for digital identity and trust infrastructure.
On 21 January 2025, the Swiss Federal Office of Justice (FOJ), in collaboration with the Federal Chancellery and the Federal Office of Information Technology and Telecommunications (FOITT), published an important statement on the future of digital identity and trust infrastructure.
As DIDAS – the Swiss association for digital trust – we are proud to have actively contributed to this milestone. Through constructive consultation, cross-sector collaboration and the sharing of insights from our community, we helped shape the direction of this foundational work. A special thank you goes to our co-authors and all those who support this joint effort.
Digital trust infrastructure – such as the E-ID, verifiable credentials, and interoperable wallets – is essential for the digital resilience and competitiveness of Switzerland. These are not just technological building blocks, but key enablers of a sovereign, secure and citizen-centric digital society.
This milestone also directly connects with the recently published vision by FIND and the State Secretariat for International Finance (SIF):
👉 Pathway 2035: Unlocking Financial Innovation for Switzerland
The message is clear: Switzerland’s ability to lead in financial innovation depends on a trusted digital foundation. At DIDAS, we are committed to enabling this foundation – bringing together policy, technology, and ecosystem actors to reduce friction, build interoperability, and establish trust by design.
Because in the end, Digital Trust is not a nice-to-have – it is a strategic imperative for Switzerland’s future.
Digital Trust is now firmly positioned on Switzerland’s strategic, political, and economic agenda.
