Service: NOGAuto - Assign or control codes to companies for economic activities

Responsible organisation: Federal Office for Statistics (Central-Government)

In 2017, the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO) released its data innovation strategy to ensure to keep up with time and technology. NOGAuto is one of the main five projects, which has been retained in line with FSO’s data innovation strategy with the goal to augment and/or complement the existing basic official statistical production at the FSO. This project is realised to automate the coding of the economic activity of enterprises using “supervised machine learning” methods applied to already available data within the FSO (e.g. data from surveys, descriptions in the commercial register, explanatory notes for classifications) to support coding.
