Switzerland building the future operating systems of the orbital economy.
Swiss Hackathon 2026 is not a student hackathon. It is a national innovation platform with a 24-month horizon to industrial pilot.
Six pillars. One national thesis.
We are convening Switzerland's most ambitious engineers, scientists, operators and capital allocators around a single proposition: that Switzerland becomes the operational hub of the orbital economy.
Precision engineering, sovereign neutrality, federal research depth and a high-trust capital ecosystem.
The orbital economy is the next layer of national infrastructure. Switzerland is uniquely positioned to operate it.
Digital twins are the operating system of the orbital economy — from missions to glaciers to grids.
Autonomous decision systems are now mission-critical. Swiss rigour brings verifiability and trust.
Microgravity unlocks pharma processes impossible on Earth. Switzerland's pharma cluster is ready.
In-orbit manufacturing is the next industrial frontier — and Swiss precision owns this stack.
