These intelligent technologies are the foundations on which smart systems are built, promising all industries new opportunities for economic growth. To be digital is to think digital, to believe in innovation, and to believe in people. Together we can build tomorrow, starting today. We know that some economic players in Switzerland have taken the digital plunge. And we hope that their positive experience can be a source of inspiration for others who would like to but don't know how and where to start, encouraging them to join us. We look forward to guiding and supporting them on this journey. While our close connections to industry help us anticipate the trends of tomorrow’s markets, our tight links with researchers in Switzerland and abroad keep us up to date with cutting-edge academic research. With more than 400 experts driven by a passion for science and innovation, we work day after day to expand our reach as a leading research and technology organization, transforming science into revolutionary technologies and promoting innovation in industry. I hope you enjoy reading this report and that doing so gives you a real sense of how CSEM experts can, by applying their creativity and innovativeness, help industry and society to prepare for the future.
