New Interactions between Military and Civilian R&D: Propositions for a Swiss National Technology Strategy
In a time of growing geopolitical tensions and increasing budget constraints, Switzerland is facing a technological turning point. The simultaneous rise in defence spending and the looming cuts to education and research funding call for a new national strategy. Historical experience – particularly the postwar U.S. model – shows that targeted investments in military R&D can also benefit civilian innovation. A Swiss technology strategy must therefore deliberately foster and institutionalize synergies between the civilian and military sectors.
