Switzerland – the blockchain champion

The Swiss Blockchain Federation is committed to creating the best possible framework conditions for the blockchain ecosystem in Switzerland. It builds bridges between business, regulation and politics.

The Swiss Blockchain Federation (SBF) is committed to maintaining and expanding the attractiveness and competitiveness of Switzerland as a blockchain location. Our main challenges include the creation of legal certainty and favorable conditions as well as the development of a broad ecosystem.

As a public-private partnership, SBF covers the areas of business, politics, science and society. We network relevant stakeholders and promote the economic and social anchoring of blockchain-based applications and activities.

At the core of the SBF lie the working groups. They are responsible for producing esteemed publications of superior quality, alongside engaging in political advocacy.

Representing interests & concerns

The SBF represents the political and public interests and concerns of the blockchain ecosystem and SBF members to government bodies (Federal Council, Parliament, Cantons) and regulatory agencies (FINMA, Federal Department of Finance).

Connect

The SBF is the central platform for all those interested in blockchain from business, industry, politics, administration and science. It networks the players at home and abroad.

Drive innovation

The SBF promotes innovation. With Blockchain Nation Switzerland it ran an Innovation Booster from 2021 until 2024. With this Innovation Booster, an Innosuisse funding programme, it generated new ideas and projects, promoted the transfer of knowledge and technology between universities, research and industry and organized hackathons, pitch days and workshops.

Working Groups

The Swiss Blockchain Federation focuses on current developments and trends in blockchain technology. Blockchain promises broad fields of application in all areas of our economy and society. At a high level of maturity, it will not only enable efficiency gains and new business models, but also solutions for combating climate change, safeguarding privacy, secure digital identity and transparent tracking of supply chains in various industries.
