Geneva UN Forum

The oldest ethical business forum dedicated to impact projects and sustainable development

The 17th Geneva Forum is designed as a dynamic and interactive platform, combining conferences, workshops, and networking opportunities in a unique format. Unlike traditional events, it is not limited to a one-way transmission of knowledge or a formal framework. Here are its main features that set it apart:

Collaborative Model: The Forum places particular emphasis on interactivity and co-construction. For instance, participants are not mere passive listeners but actively engage in discussions, workshops, and group work, fostering active involvement and tangible outcomes.

Targeted Networking: The organization structures its events around strategic moments such as networking meals and professional network crossover sessions. This approach breaks down sectoral silos and encourages intersectoral collaborations, which are often absent in traditional conferences.

Focus on Concrete Impact: The Forum goes beyond debates and theories by focusing on concrete projects and their economic viability. For example, the “Blended Finance Party” facilitates connections between project leaders and investors, ensuring sustainable impact.

Modern and Dynamic Formats: With formats such as pitch series, immediately followed by interactive discussions and feedback, the Forum seeks to maximize the efficiency of exchanges while reducing the duration of events to maintain a high level of attention and engagement.

Inclusive and Multidimensional Access: The Geneva Forum targets professionals, students who represent the next generation of stakeholders, and citizens, fostering transparency and full accessibility. This inclusive dimension significantly enriches exchanges by bringing diverse perspectives, which professionals take away as valuable resources .
