The four levers that unlock transition.

The four levers that unlock transition.

SIPI’s structural work runs across four cross-cutting layers that connect evidence to action, data to decision, and capital to delivery. These leverage points are not programmes; they are the shared infrastructure that makes coordinated transition economically rational and institutionally feasible.

Switzerland’s regenerative transition will not succeed through isolated pilots or fragmented initiatives. It requires federated intelligence that respects cantonal autonomy while enabling national coherence. It requires foresight capacity that turns weak signals into actionable intelligence for boards, foundations and federal offices. It requires policy translation that moves PROSPER findings from academic rigour into legislative drafting and cantonal demonstrators. And it requires shared platforms — open contract templates, replicable architectures, coordination scaffolding — so that Swiss actors do not rebuild the wheel every time.

Data Commons

Privacy-preserving data architectures connecting health, environment and economic signals across cantons and operators. Federated intelligence that enables measurement without centralisation, transparency without surveillance.

Foresight

Structured horizon-scanning that turns weak signals into actionable intelligence for boards, foundations and federal offices. Anticipation and signals that inform long-term strategy before crises force reactive decisions.

Policy

Translating PROSPER findings into legislative drafting, cantonal pilots and federal-level policy levers. Evidence to action — the disciplined work of moving from measurement to mandate, from analysis to implementation.

Infrastructure

Open contract templates, replicable demonstrator designs, and the scaffolding that lets Swiss actors coordinate without rebuilding the wheel. Shared platforms that reduce transaction costs and accelerate institutional adoption.

Each leverage point is designed to be open, replicable and institutionally credible. Together they form the operating system for Switzerland’s long transition — the connective tissue between vision, measurement and funded delivery.
