A space for accelerated autonomous business.
#SwissAutonomousValley will be the leading digitalization initiative for autonomous systems worldwide. We accelerate the development and approval process of autonomous systems by replicating real cities in mirror worlds. We make testing locations available and organize incentive competitions to push the envelope in autonomous systems development.
A simple logic with a big impact
1
Layer 1: Physical location
Permanent access to physical testing spaces
2
Layer 2: Mirror World
Training of autonomous systems through leading simulation frameworks (e.g. NVIDIA ISAAC, Microsoft Airsim)
3
Layer 3: Regulation Scenarios
Providing regulatory relevant scenarios that can be tested in both spaces and that allow the regulator to accept virtually tested elements in the approval process
A central access to all autonomous zones in Switzerland

Autonome Systeme ermöglichen der Post in der Logistik und Mobilität, Abläufe und Dienstleistungen effizienter, zeitunabhängiger, ökologischer und verfügbarer zu machen. Dazu gehören z.B. unsere Drohnen oder Roboter. #SwissAutonomousValley leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag dazu, dass wir für die Schweiz solche Systeme massgeschneidert entwickeln und in Kooperation mit den Behörden bewilligungsfähig machen können.

Switzerland is world-leading in autonomous systems and robotics. Thanks to the Swiss Autonomous Valley we can further enhance this leadership, support startups and cooperates in the field, and attract partners from abroad. This exciting initiative will surely give a big boost to the field and generate high international visibility!

Director Autonomous Systems Lab, ETH Zürich
Switzerland has the world’s class robotics companies and research labs. The Swiss Autonomous Valley is the first step to create standardized tools with simulators and field test facilities, which will allow to boost advancements in robotics and collaboration between academia and industry.

Tangible use cases — close to business
There are already different projects in Switzerland. Several of our partners are testing autonomous systems in Switzerland. These projects explore different questions and aspects like maturity of the technology, regulation, impact on society and business cases.
With #SwissAutonomousValley we accelerate those cases and we’re planning to develop new business cases.
