Following the successful completion of the this year's Swiss Cyber Security Days the organizers are already planning the next edition. In 2026, leading national and international speakers will once again shed light on the opportunities and challenges of cyberspace and new technologies such as artificial intelligence over two days on the Main and Tech Stages of the congress area. The speakers will come from the fields of science, research, administration, business and the media. In addition, a large number of exhibitors will once again be offering concrete solutions and products in the field of cyber security in the Bernexpo exhibition halls.
The motto of the SCSD 2026: Digital Sovereignty - The New Frontier
At a time when geopolitical developments are focusing on the importance of digital autonomy and sovereignty, the SCSD 2026 is sending out a strong signal with its motto "Digital Sovereignty - The New Frontier". The event will focus on jointly developing new solutions to shape our digital future in a self-determined way. The program will highlight current findings from technology, research, society and geopolitics in the digital context and create a platform for national and international exchange.
"In February 2026, Bern will once again become Switzerland's cyber metropolis under the motto 'Digital Sovereignty - The New Frontier'. National and international experts will not only discuss the opportunities and risks in cyberspace and present possible solutions, but also how digital sovereignty is a key concept for the future. The focus will be on pioneering technologies and their impact on society in order to develop ways in which states, organizations and individuals can gain control and independence in the digital space," explains Nik Gugger, President of the SCSD and National Councillor.
Largest Swiss expo in the field of cyber security
Alongside the top-class congress program, the event has developed into the largest Swiss trade fair in the field of cyber security in recent years. Next year, the organizers are expecting over 120 well-known exhibitors to present the latest solutions and services for authorities, large corporations, SMEs and people with an interest in IT and security in two exhibition halls. The Expo offering will be complemented by spacious networking areas, the podcasting lounge, two best-practice stages and the special "StartUp" and "Career" zones.
