Pillar profile
Insight engine
Switzerland ranks #6 of 48 on the Cognitive Coefficient (66.4/100), with a trajectory classified as Maintaining relative to the frontier. Its strongest pillars are data, digital literacy; the binding constraints are compute, ai adoption.
Risks
- Few acute risks at present; principal exposure is complacency as the frontier keeps moving.
Opportunities
- Largest headroom in Compute (43.3/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
- Largest headroom in AI Adoption (45.5/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
Recommended actions
- Prioritise the weakest pillar (Compute) to lift the geometric-mean development index (CDI).
- Broaden the base (education + data governance) to raise resilience and reduce concentration risk.
