Cognitive Power

38.4 · #17/48

Total national capacity — AI capital, compute, models & robotics. Strongest in semiconductor capability, economic mass, supercomputing.

Per-capita lens

Cognitive Coefficient

66.4 · #6/48

How deep infrastructure runs per person — rewards intensity, like GDP-per-capita or the HDI.

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.
These are model outputs and scenarios, not forecasts of actual outcomes. This platform measures access to, utilization of, and leverage from cognitive infrastructure — not intelligence. No causality or certainty is claimed.
