About us

The Center for Digital Trust is an academic-industry alliance of international relevance that facilitates innovation in digital trust services and products. The center brings together 15 industry partners, 43 EPFL laboratories, civil society, and policy actors to collaborate, share insights, and gain early access to trust-building technologies, building on state-of-the-art research at EPFL and beyond.

C4DT focuses on three domains. First, facilitating technology transfer and ensuring competitiveness of Switzerland on those issues, by closely collaborating directly with EPFL academic chairs on relevant topics at the intersection of technology and society. Second, raising awareness to decision-makers and developing a community of interest around the topics. And third, developing advocacy/policy activities, both at Swiss and international levels, to position EPFL as an international reference center on the topics.
