The Canton of Geneva has become the first Swiss canton to sign the United Nations' Open Source Principles. The eight guidelines cover the use, development and sharing of open source software in public administration, committing the canton to promoting free and open software alongside or instead of proprietary solutions. Observers in the Swiss tech community have welcomed the move as a meaningful signal for public-sector digital sovereignty and transparency.

Why now: Geneva is the first Swiss canton to formally commit to the UN's open source principles, a notable step for public-sector software policy.
