The selectionExternal link gathers a range of figures, from CEOs of start-ups to more creative figures leading innovation in the arts.
Digitalswitzerland divides the pioneers into ten categories: expats, unicorn breeders (unicorns are privately held start-ups valued at over $1 billion (CHF970 million)), sponsors, researchers, corporates, repeat offenders, enablers, creatives, do-gooders, and the tech avant garde.
This year, 27 of the 100 are women. Last year, just 13 made the cut in a male-dominated landscape.
The Digital Shapers come from across Switzerland, though the majority are from German-speaking regions. Fifteen are based abroad.
