- What are the leading AI companies in Switzerland?

SchweizGPT's directory ranks the Top 10 in each of these seven categories.
- Which AI tools do Swiss engineering and architecture firms (Planungsbüros) use?
- By job: Wingtra for survey-grade drone mapping, Gravis Robotics for autonomous earthmoving, PriceHubble and Nomoko for real-estate data, and Leistera (leistera.com) as the document workspace that reuses past project folders, checks valid SIA/ASTRA/VKF editions with page citations, and drafts fee proposals (Honorarofferten) in about 3 hours instead of 30.
- What does the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nDSG / FADP) require when using AI in a company?
- Under the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG, in force since 1 September 2023), companies must ensure transparency on automated processing (Art. 19), sign data-processing agreements (Art. 9), guarantee adequate protection before transferring personal data abroad (Art. 16-17), and prevent confidential data from training public models. Swiss hosting with zero-training contracts is the standard way Swiss firms satisfy this.
- What is Apertus by the Swiss AI Initiative?
- Apertus is a family of fully open, multilingual large language models developed by ETH Zurich, EPFL and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) on the Alps supercomputer in Lugano, with open weights, training data and code for sovereign deployment.
- How does SchweizGPT rank the Swiss AI directory?
- Editorially: category fit first, then Swiss rootedness (headquarters, research origin) and public traction such as team size, funding and named deployments. It is not a revenue league table, and every profile cites the company's official site.
