Our Services
Our Services
The Association for Responsible Technologies (A.R.T) builds and operates a sovereign, open-source digital infrastructure for humanitarian action, with RedSafe as its flagship application, and provides advisory support to enable adoption and set standards at scale.
A three-layer digital humanitarian system
to power independent and trusted humanitarian action
User Layer
Deliver and scale RedSafe, a live platform providing free, safe access to trusted humanitarian information and services developed by the ICRC since 2020.
In 2026, we will assume full ownership, migrate it to sovereign Swiss infrastructure, and release it as open source, establishing it as a Digital Public Good.
Infrastructure Layer
Build and operate a shared digital infrastructure, designed to reduce risk, enable interoperability, and lower costs across the humanitarian system.
We develop and maintain a sovereign, open-source digital infrastructure hosted in Switzerland.
Ecosystem Layer
Enable adoption and set standards, providing targeted technical and advisory support to reduce duplication, drive integration, and improve user experience, while embedding human rights, data protection, and ethical design across all layers, and within selected organisations.
Impact and early results
RedSafe is already operating since 2021, delivering:
- Information-as-aid: trusted, localised information on assistance and protection services

What's next: Strategic priorities
2026 is a turning point. We will assume full ownership of RedSafe, expand partnerships, scale its use, and position it as a Digital Public Good, while we establish the partnerships and governance needed to build a sovereign digital infrastructure.
Over the next two years, we will:
Secure technological sovereignty
RedSafe will be fully transferred to A.R.T, hosted on Swiss-based infrastructure, and operated under a sovereign model.
This infrastructure ensures independence, reduces reliance on third-party providers and enables interoperability lowering the costs across the humanitarian system.
Establish strategic partnerships
RedSafe will be released as open-source with a defined governance model with external contributions from strategic humanitarian, academic and private-sector partners.
From this model, we will collaboratively build a shared digital infrastructure for independent and trusted humanitarian action, ensuring scalability and long-term sustainability.
Expand services
Building on RedSafe’s Digital Vault, we will progressively introduce new capabilities like mobile money payments, with regulatory compliance, financial viability, and user protection as preconditions for scale.
We will also provide targeted technical and advisory support to selected organisations.
Financial pathway to 2030
We are designed for financial sustainability, evolving from donor funding toward a diversified and sustainable model by 2030, making donor funding a time-bound, catalytic investment.
Starting in 2027, we will pilot revenue streams through service agreements, new digital services, transaction fees and advisory services.
From 2028-2030, we will raise progressive revenue growth from shared infrastructure services, integrations, and selected transaction-based and consulting services, to reach financial sustainability by 2030.
