Technica Radar
The most important IT trends for Swiss SMEs in 2025
Which IT technologies, tools and trends should Swiss SMEs focus on? The bbv Technica Radar provides an answer. It visualises IT and developer trends specifically for Switzerland.
In the fast-moving world of IT, it is almost impossible for IT decision-makers and developers to keep track of all the relevant or new technologies and trends.
With the Technica Radar, bbv summarises the latest developments in IT every year, reflecting expert opinions and presenting studies and recommendations from market research companies or the federal government.
Its clear focus on the Swiss market and the needs of SMEs distinguishes Technica Radar from other international trend barometers.
This makes the Technica Radar a pragmatic tool for IT decision-makers and software developers in Switzerland. The information collected and processed is intended to support decision-making and serve as a basis for discussion in SMEs.

Interview: “Not all trends make it into the bbv Technica Radar”
bbv has published its Technica Radar annually since 2020. In it, bbv’s CTO Board highlights which technologies will be business-relevant in the future – and which can be safely forgotten. In this interview, CTO Board Members Patrick Labud and Marco Ravicini explain why certain topics are trending and what you should be turning your attention to soon.
Read the interviewHow the Technica Radar is created
Extensive research, assessments and discussions are necessary before the Technica Radar is available. The CTO of bbv (Marco Ravicini, right) continuously collects and analyses information on the latest trends in what is known as Technica Scouting.
The CTO gathers experience at conferences and participates in communities and user groups. He monitors the competition and customers’ domains and conducts scientific research to find out what is moving the academic side of IT.
The CTO also takes into account trend barometers, studies by market research companies such as Gartner or ThoughtWorks, business-oriented publications such as Forbes, and the IT recommendations of the federal government.
The CTO then categorises the information gathered and classifies the various technologies according to their economic potential and maturity. “We analyse all the information, weigh it up and adapt it to the Swiss market. Not every global hype is immediately relevant to us,” explains Marco Ravicini.
