Focus topics

The speed of technological change is restricting future visibility. There is therefore a need for reliable tools to help provide guidance. As part of its federal mandate to identify technologies at an early stage, SATW summarises and makes available the relevant knowledge. This knowledge results in valuable products such as Technology Outlook, situation analyses for the Confederation and Cantons and the Innovativeness Analysis.
