  • Video games are digital cultural objects, vectors of new forms of creativity and technological development. Their production represents a great potential, both for culture and for the economy and innovation sectors. In order to support the video game sector in all its dimensions, the Federal Council is proposing measures aimed at improving and sustaining the qualitative and quantitative development of the sector in Switzerland. In the future, it aims to strengthen the skills of creators and their integration into the industry, as well as to promote and publicise the specific features of cross-sectoral support. (en)
