Building and enabling trusted business ecosystems to accelerate sustainable value creation in Switzerland - and globally

"The world is undergoing change at a rate we have indeed never seen before!" We heard this phrase so many times in the last 20 odd months, as it actually represents a factual assessment of the current state - which will only further accelerate. But I strongly believe Switzerland can chart a course, bolder than ever before.?

Home to unique talents like Albert Einstein, research infrastructure such as the LHC at CERN, product and service innovations such as the World wide web, Nescafé, LCD, Globi and even Velcro, the landlocked?Swiss Confederation?is a marvel of science, technology, engineering and innovation. But being amongst the top players of the Global Competitiveness Report or the Global Innovation Index is not the end of the game - rather a challenging proposition. How can we continue to innovate and thrive?

It's not an easy question. However, if we shift the focus from how to 'why,' the need of the hour becomes a lot clearer.?

The time to imagine, build, and run digitalisation differently – by helping to embed trust into the digital world.?

Switzerland has managed to stay ahead in the innovation race via leading per-capita patent applications, excellent research and testing ecosystem, underpinned by university programs that groom new and exceptional talent. Moreover, the country has always been quick to enable stable governance around new technologies to create robust innovation across various industries, from financial services to manufacturing and life sciences.

But, the world has entered the 'next' normal - one that pivots around the nucleus of technology embedded in everything we do. With the fluctuations in eCommerce, manufacturing, and exports, Switzerland needs to marry technology with every possible domain to enable an even more frictionless future. There is also a need to move ahead with s strong sense of purpose, creating value for shareholders, irreversibly combined with a long-term positive impact for ALL stakeholders.?

As a true ecosystem player, we are uniquely committed to our partner's initiatives, too. With that we are happy to announce our signature of the #MicrosoftPartnerPledge, as it deeply represents our commitments to key sustainability values and principles, which is also reflected in our pride for receiving the ‘2021 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World’ award by Corporate Knights. Becoming the only Indian organisation recognised.

Cognitive intelligence can work wonders with Swiss ethics in healthcare artificial intelligence (AI) applications and further developing cities like Lausanne. With the right set of experts collaborating for a better outcome, enabling technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics and automation, drone testing and digital aviation, can tackle a variety of challenges in different sectors, as outlined in the digital opportunity report by the University of St. Gallen. Switzerland, after all, is the ideal location for high-quality production with globally networked supply chains in the heart of Europe. But not only that: Imagine the impact wearable technology will have in mitigating risks and improving data-related processes for the Swiss insurance and healthcare industries!?

Talking about the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector, it's no mystery that the openness of Swiss authorities has made it the logical choice for blockchain and fintech ecosystems and business models to prosper. While the Swiss city of Zug has earned the nickname Crypto Valley (which grew by 177% in the number of tech-related events in 2018), boader adoption of frictionless capabilities across business ecosystems, creating sustainable value for its participants needs to start creating value for organisations beyond crypto and we can see clear aspirations and good progress in the sector. To scale the application of the DLT technology, that allows to fundamentally rethink business and compliance processes, by embedding principles and good practices “by-design” further, a diverse set of stakeholders need to come together around a value creation roadmap. With skills at the intersection if technology and governance and policy making, deep regulatory understanding, business domains, societal, academic research and more, enabled by proven methods, tools & accelerators. I truly believe when the technology can be a enabler beyond cryptocurrencies and trading, we will see revolutionary use cases scaled in industries close to our hearts and minds. And that is the true opportunity of DLT.?

The 'next' is therefore about co- designing and co-creating solutions that allow us to evolve value creation from the current scenarios or fundamentally rethink them by developing around use cases and outcomes for our future needs. Streamlining processes to sustainably ensure transparency, operational efficiency & effectiveness, scalability and agility. Enriching experiences for a new generation of businesses, is not just about preserving value, but unlocking new value streams that create more prosperous, fulfilled societies and businesses while building a more sustainable relationship with our planet.?That requires values, key principles and work to be closely aligned - and aspects such as the privacy interests of our societies, sustainability and carbon neutrality to be embedded by-design.

Switzerland has developed into an innovative hub for all kinds of technologies. It is that technological estate that can be leveraged fur business around the globe to fuel the economy at an accelerated rate. For instance, a banking and insurance maven like Switzerland can reap incredible benefits from its regulatory landscape, data privacy and security as an enabler for their business, by embedding them by-design vs. just looking at them as a necessary burden. Similar to its role in the physical world when it comes to trust and sovereignty, Switzerland can credibly step up to play a key trust anchor to enabling global, digital business ecosystems.

Overall, TechM aspires to create sustainable value for all stakeholders by orchestrating capabilities across the value chain of Swiss, Indian and global indutries. We help organisations to re-imagine a future with unique digital product- and service experiences, enabled by trusted business ecosystems.
