About Alp ICT
Launched in 2008, Alp ICT is a platform for the promotion of information and digital technologies, supported by the cantons of Western Switzerland and SECO under the New Regional Policy (NPR).
Supported by the OPI and coordinated by ARI-SO (Association Réseau Innovation Suisse Occidentale), Alp ICT relies on the program's partners, as well as an intercantonal committee of experts.
As a liaison between companies, R&D, institutional and financial players, Alp ICT encourages synergies in the ICT field, creates economic value, and strengthens SMEs' capacity for innovation and their digital transition.
