Swiss Quality Infrastructure in Transition
Abstract
In response to the accelerating digitalization of society, the Swiss Quality Infrastructure (QI) is undergoing a strategic transformation. To support this, METAS organized a two-part workshop series in 2024 and 2025. The first workshop mapped the complex stakeholder landscape and explored key QI concepts like competence and trust, highlighting both formal and informal relationships. The second workshop moved from analysis to action, identifying pain points and generating digital solution ideas, including AI, and machine-readable standards. Participants identified possible initiatives such as a QI Data Space, Digital Calibration Certificate, and quality-IoT systems, while also addressing internal readiness challenges. Key outcomes included the need for shared infrastructure, international alignment, and seed funding to support implementation. The workshops provided a starting point for shaping a resilient, digitally enabled QI system tailored to Switzerland’s strengths and future needs.
