An initiative to develop concepts for secure critical infrastructure and related topics for Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
Our goal is to develop concepts for secure (public) critical infrastructure and related topics for Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Non-partisan, non-political, fact-based and truth-seeking.
With a panel of experts, we want to discuss and develop concepts to meet the current challenges.

The SRC – Security & Resilience Counsel (Switzerland – Germany – Austria) was founded in the fall of 2022 with the aim of gathering experts in various fields around the topic of “Critical Infrastructures”. Critical infrastructure in the broader sense ranges from energy supply and ICT (information and communication technologies) to food and water reserves. We are sure that more issues will arise during the start-up and conception phase. We are driven by a strong will to preserve our democracy, our constitution and the society that our ancestors created and in many cases fought for. In order to maintain and further improve our democratic structures, it is essential to speak truthfully about facts.
The goal of this Counsel is to provide a 360° view of a variety of topics. We live in an extremely interconnected world and therefore have to think very systemically and holistically. For example, interventions in energy supply have a massive impact on other sectors such as agriculture, where an impairment of food logistics, fertilizers or cost structures leads to price increases, poverty and hunger. In particular, the economic consequences of isolated actions can be extremely severe, resulting in massive crises in the form of inflation, supply shortages, recession or stagflation, and significant unemployment. It is further necessary to consider not only the economic, but also the environmental and psychosocial consequences of the recommendations and measures.

We are currently in an extremely serious and dangerous situation. After the pandemic measures and lockdowns (now lifted in most countries), which caused additional ECB “spending” of more than 4 trillion euros, most countries are stretched to their limits and risk having their ratings downgraded, which could then lead to double-digit inflation. This would mean a further contraction of these economies, could then lead to unrest and is thus a threat to democracy. This situation will most likely be considerably aggravated by the sanctions against the European “powerhouse” Russia with its reliable and – so far – cheap resources, mainly oil and gas, but also nuclear power. The desperate activities of the German government, in particular, to replenish gas stocks and search for alternative suppliers are leading to noticeable price increases of up to 1,000% for electricity and several hundred percent for gas (since August 2022). Large companies and SMEs in most industries and market segments are facing strong price increases for primary products such as steel, electronics and computer chips, construction materials, paper, etc.
In order to maintain and further improve our democratic structures, it is essential to speak truthfully about facts.
We believe in real, unadulterated science and facts. We see it as our duty to provide decision-makers with reliable facts instead of ideology. To make sound strategic and tactical decisions, we also need experienced pragmatists who fearlessly propose concrete solutions, even if they are uncomfortable.
I. ICT (Information and Communication Technology and Secure Cloud Services)
– IoT Supply Chain
– resilient & redundant ICT systems
II. energy production and supply
More sections for a next phase:
III. agriculture (food and water supply)
IV. Migration & Demography
To cover the first two - and later more - topics with highly qualified and experienced experts, We propose the creation of a "Circle of Competence", whose members would meet regularly either personally or virtually will meet. In parallel, we propose to create a "digital workspace" to share data and Gather information and develop innovative solutions to identified problem situations. This "Circle of Competence" is intended to be politically neutral. We consider freedom of expression to be key, thinking outside the box as a prerequisite. We must be open-minded in our communication and be straightforward.
In the area of ICT, we cannot afford to have even a single day of downtime, power outage or blackout. of data centers or central systems, as this would immediately lead to dramatic chaos. Even a well-planned disaster recovery strategy would, at the very least, incur significant costs and in the worst-case scenario, lead to the loss of data and the collapse of supply chains. So there is no doubt: no ICT without continuous and uninterrupted power supply.

Critical Infrastructure in a broader sense ranges from energy supply to ICT (information & communication technologies) as well as to food and water reserves. We are certain that more and more topics will come up during the brainstorming and conceptual phase.
We are driven by the strong will to preserve our democracy, our constitution and the society our ancestors created and in many cases had been fighting for. In order to preserve and further improve our democratic nations, talking truthfully about facts is a must.
