Mapping the Digital Community in the Basel Area

Abstract

There is no shortage of offers and initiatives in the field of Tech-Communities, Start-Up Promotion, Smart City Platforms in the Basel area. There seems to be a tendency for too many actors and too little clarity when it comes to identifying the challenges in Digital Transformation. The main challenges encountered are imprecise role allocations, cluttered efforts, and a protective silo mentality. There is no lack of resources or initiatives, but the ambiguity and lack of transparency are complicating the efforts by the actors when dealing with the difficulties in Digital Transformation.
