Posted on by Rolf Boesch

Bern, 28.06.2023 – From the first half of 2024, private individuals will also be able to acquire a .swiss domain name provided they are Swiss or live in Switzerland. To this end, the Federal Council adopted a revision of the Internet Domains Ordinance (OID) on 2 June 2023. It has now tasked the Federal Office of Communications OFCOM, as the registry for the .swiss domain, to prepare for this extension.

Blog on partnership between dot.swiss and the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award

Posted on by Rolf Boesch

In 2019 the internet domain .swiss entered into a partnership with Venturelab for the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award (www.top100startups.swiss).

Startups are often still free to choose whatever internet domain they want and are able to benefit from an image boost by actively opting for a ‘Swiss Made’ domain.

In addition, Venturelab, with its highly successful ‘Deeptech Startup’ approach, exemplifies the culture and values associated with .swiss and strongly identifies itself with its own Swiss origins (www.venturelab.swiss). So Venturelab stands behind the .swiss domain in its own startup training courses.

In this blog format dot.swiss continually publishes the latest on the partnership with the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award.
