Suissedigital enters into partnership with HWZ Zurich
Suissedigital, the trade association for Swiss communications networks, is entering into a three-year partnership with the Center for Digital Business at HWZ. The main goal of the collaboration is the mutual exchange of knowledge in the field of digitalization.
This also includes conducting a study on the state of digitization among Swiss SMEs. "The collaboration with the HWZ will substantially expand our competencies in digitization; our members can also benefit from this," says Simon Osterwalder, Managing Director of Suissedigital. The central point of the future cooperation is the joint implementation of a study. This will look at the prerequisites as well as drivers and the status of digitization among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Switzerland and build on last year's "Study Digital Switzerland 2015" on. Manuel P. Nappo, Head of the Center for Digital Business at HWZ, is also convinced: "The collaboration with Suissedigital helps us to achieve our goal - to drive the digital transformation of Swiss SMEs."
Presentation of the results at Suissedigital Day
The results of the study will be presented at the Suissedigital Day on April 28, 2016. Anyone interested in the concrete effects of digitization in Switzerland is invited to attend the public event at the Kursaal in Bern. The full-day event is likely to be of particular interest to SMEs, as case studies from the SME environment will be presented in addition to the study results.
The Center for Digital Business at the HWZ is a contact point for application-oriented digital knowledge. It runs research projects, offers degree courses, supports SMEs with consulting and project services, and provides knowledge on digital topics free of charge.
