Denknetz is Switzerland’s independent, grassroot think tank. Our credo is simple yet powerful: freedom, equality, and solidarity form an indivisible whole. With 1,500 members, dozens of active volunteers, and the support of organizations like the Federation of Swiss Trade Unions, the Social Democratic Party, and the Young Greens, we bring together diverse voices to shape ideas for a fairer future.

We provide a platform where people from progressive communities can exchange ideas beyond the constraints of routine politics. Our thematic groups explore pressing issues such as democratizing the economy and finance, making the pharmaceutical industry serve the public, ensuring dignity in old age, securing pensions, rethinking work, redistributing wealth, building a global society of care, and strengthening democracy.

Our strength lies in diversity. Members come from NGOs, unions, parties, research, public service, private industry, and beyond. Together, their knowledge and experiences create what we call democratic expertise — collective reflection and bold ideas for change.
