For municipalities in Switzerland
Digital participation for your municipality
From spatial planning to neighbourhood projects: with MyIdeas you collect ideas, run participation processes online and involve residents — transparent, data-minimal and ready in minutes.
Public participation is firmly established in Switzerland: on land-use plans, regulations or neighbourhood development, residents are meant to have a say. But classic participation processes — public display, paper, town meetings — often reach only a few. A digital platform lowers the barrier and makes participation visible.
MyIdeas brings idea collection, voting and a public progress view together in one place. The municipality keeps moderation, residents see that their contributions land — and nobody needs a password; they simply sign in with an SMS code.
Participation processes that actually land
Instead of a notice at the town hall, participation happens where people already are: in the browser. Ideas and feedback are collected with a low barrier, weighted and transparently followed up.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between "Mitwirkung" and "Vernehmlassung"?
Mitwirkung means involving residents early, for example in planning at municipal level. Vernehmlassung is the formal consultation on legislation, usually at cantonal or federal level. MyIdeas is designed above all for low-barrier participation and idea collection.
Where is the data stored?
Data is held on European servers. MyIdeas is data-minimal, works without a cookie banner and without third-party tracking — each municipality gets its own, strictly isolated instance.
Can all residents take part?
Yes. Sign-in is via SMS code, with no password and no app requirement. The platform runs on any device in the browser and can be installed as an app.
