What is SWITCHhub?

SWITCHhub is a marketplace for services such as Office 365 and Adobe Creative Suite, among others.

Universities can source services from the marketplace and make them available to their users in their SWITCHhub online shop.


The platform is operated by SWITCH in Switzerland.

For university members

Enjoy preferential terms on services such as Office 365 and manage your subscriptions yourself.

 

For providers

Offer your services in SWITCHhub to target the Swiss university community.

Cost-effective and efficient

For universities, negotiating contracts is a complex, time-consuming and regularly recurring process that has to be run separately with each provider.

We negotiate contracts with commercial providers on behalf of all universities. This gives us more bargaining power.

University members, students, lecturers and researchers therefore benefit from better terms and are able to find everything they need in one place.
