Software development, IT consulting, data centre operation, hosting and web portals: for hardware and cloud vendors, distributors, recruiters and investors who want to cover the Swiss IT industry by region and activity.
Our Swiss database holds 1,005,992 records (as of 4 November 2026): the entities in the commercial register and places from Overture Maps without a match. They are not yet assigned to industries; the quotation states the size available for this industry, the reference date and the delivery date.
Export of the whole industry: CHF 389 (final price). Selections by canton, municipality, language region or your own filters are quoted on request.
Official statistics: 20,474 businesses in Switzerland according to FSO, STATENT, table px-x-0602010000_106 (reference year 2024, table updated 20 August 2026). Divisions 62 computer programming and consultancy (19,259) and 63 information service activities (1,215) combined; publishing, broadcasting and telecommunications are not included. This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.
This industry covers NOGA divisions 62 (computer programming, consultancy and related activities) and 63 (information service activities). According to the FSO (STATENT 2024), computer programming counts 10,568 and IT consultancy 7,344 businesses; together with hosting and web portals there are 20,474.
Many IT firms are very small: individuals with their own GmbH working as freelancers. If you are looking for firms with a team, combine the industry with a website as a mandatory field and check the offering yourself.

NOGA does not distinguish by size. Selecting by legal form (AG instead of sole proprietorship) and by an existing website helps to separate one-person firms from systems houses. The export does not contain the number of employees.
Web agencies are under 62.01 (programming) or 73.11 (advertising agencies), depending on their focus. If you are looking for agencies, request both codes.
You may not send advertising emails to IT firms without consent either (Art. 3 para. 1 let. o UWG).

Partly. Agencies focused on programming are under 62.01, those focused on advertising under 73.11 in the industry Fiduciary, consulting and business services.
Mass advertising by email requires prior consent, also towards companies (Art. 3 para. 1 let. o UWG). The notion of mass advertising is interpreted broadly; whether a single, individually written message falls under it depends on the case and is for you to assess.
