Centre for
Digital Economics

The Centre for Digital Economics (FS-C4DE) is an interdisciplinary research centre dedicated to understanding and shaping the infrastructure of the digital economy broadly and the digital financial system in particular. In addition to research, we work closely with policy makers, industry experts, and startups. We bring together both academic expertise and engineering capabilities and regularly develop prototypes of frontier technology, in particular using distributed ledgers and trusted execution environments. Our areas of expertise include blockchain, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing and how these technologies are deployed in the financial services industry. We have a broad portfolio of educational offerings for students and executives and offer a range of advisory services.
