At the heart of the digital revolution

The Geneva banking and financial sector is not merely adapting to the digital transition but also actively shaping the digital future. Geneva stands out for its infrastructure and experience in data management.

Because our prosperity depends largely on our capacity to innovate, the Geneva Financial Center closely monitors these developments in an effort to better understand the challenges of the digital revolution.

The Geneva Financial Centre Foundation supports the digital transition in the following ways:

  • As an active member of the independent association Swiss FinTech Innovations    
  • By engaging in a constructive dialogue with the cantonal authorities to ensure FinTech can continue to contribute to the value-added of a forward-looking banking sector
  • By promoting events encouraging innovation and knowledge-sharing in finance

World Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2023

Switzerland in the top 5

The World Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2023, published each year by IMD, shows that Switzerland remains in fifth place thanks to the quality of its infrastructure, cutting-edge regulation and the ability of its companies to transform themselves.


The challenges ahead include cybersecurity, the use of Big Data, the availability of venture capital as well as online citizen participation. The study underlines in particular the Swiss citizens' rejection of digital identity in March 2021 and their concerns about transparency.

Encouraging innovation

For the Swiss financial sector to remain competitive and continue to innovate, political and regulatory authorities should define a legal framework that supports the development of FinTech and does not discourage innovation.
