About SIDG

Dialogue platform for Internet and Digital Governance

Swiss Internet & Digital Governance (SIDG) was founded in 2024 and, as a multistakeholder platform, brings together diverse voices from across Switzerland to constructively discuss and further develop Internet and digital governance.

What distinguishes SIDG
