Education
Apprenticeship, university, and the ambition to use them.
A movement for the next generation
BuildSwitzerland.
Let's build the world's most resilient, innovative and prosperous country.
Why
Our turn.
Switzerland became exceptional because previous generations built: institutions, companies, infrastructure, ideas that compounded for a century.
That inheritance is not a destination. It is a starting line. The mountains, the laboratories, the workshops and the quiet trust between citizens were given to us. What we make of them is our generation's responsibility, and our opportunity.
Building is also how prosperity is made. When people here create things the world wants, more value is created per hour worked. That is what lifts wages, funds pensions, and pays for everything we hold in common.
Die Zukunft soll man nicht voraussehen wollen, sondern möglich machen.
“One should not try to foresee the future, but make it possible.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

How we work
How we work.
- 01
Independent. Build Switzerland is not funded by and does not speak for any political party, company or industry association. We publish where our money comes from.
- 02
We don't campaign. We don't endorse parties or candidates, and we don't take positions on votes. We explain how building works and why it matters. What you conclude is yours.
- 03
We show our sources. Every number we publish is attributed. When the data is contested, we say so.
- 04
We don't compete with the people doing the work. Switzerland already has good organisations that fund, coach and represent builders. Our job is to send people to them, not to replace them.
