Initiée en 2008, Alp ICT est la plateforme de promotion des technologies de l'information et du numérique, soutenue par les cantons de Suisse occidentale et le SECO au titre de la Nouvelle Politique Régionale (NPR). 

Agent de liaison entre les entreprises, la R&D, les acteurs institutionnels et financiers, Alp ICT encourage les synergies dans le domaine ICT, crée de la valeur économique, renforce la capacité d’innovation des PME ainsi que leur transition numérique.
