Federal Council sets parameters for the further development of Beyond Gravity

Bern, 20.06.2025 — Parliament has decided not to pursue the originally planned privatisation of the space company Beyond Gravity. At its meeting on 20 June 2025, the Federal Council drew up an action plan to enable the company to develop further under these new conditions. The Federal Council will now review the strategic objectives without delay, and create a statutory basis for holding a financial interest in the company accordingly. Ownership control will pass from the Federal Department of Finance (FDF) to the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS).
