Technology Monitoring Track:

Members of the Swiss Technology Observatory community met in Sachseln (Obwalden) in June 2024 and gave presentations on technology monitoring topics. This retreat is a cherished tradition for researchers and students working at or collaborating with the Cyber-Defence Campus. The event provides a vibrant platform to share expertise, insights, and perspectives in a relaxed and stimulating environment. This retreat is a unique opportunity for people from diverse fields to collaborate and meet other academia, industry, and government experts.

At the end of June 2024, representatives from government, industry, and academia came together in Sachelsn (CH/OB) to present and explore trends in the technology monitoring landscape.
