Folio 2025 – For a safe Switzerland
Security extends far beyond the military sphere. It encompasses issues such as the prevention of natural hazards, the sustainable management and supply of resources, the protection of property rights, the stability of infrastructure and the provision of information to the public. Geodata plays a key role in all these areas.
Our maps, terrain models, data sets, positioning service and data infrastructure are not just technical tools. They form a solid and stable foundation that links different types of information – an essential prerequisite for effective government action, including in the field of security.
This issue of Folio invites you to discover the diversity of our work. It shows how swisstopo uses its expertise and commitment in many – often little-known – areas to lay the groundwork for strengthening the stability and security of our country.
Our Office is committed to Switzerland’s security and stability in many ways. Our contributions address the various aspects of these challenges, depending on the context and the individuals involved.
