The Innovation Connection is a recurring, small-group networking and knowledge-sharing event designed to spark cross-sector exchange and peer learning. Organized jointly by the Geneva Innovation Movement (GIM), the Geneva Research Lab for Digital Impact (GRL), University of Geneva and UNICEF’s Digital Impact Division, the event offers a space for high-level professionals to discuss real-world challenges in a fast-paced, collaborative format. Participants are encouraged to bring their own challenges, projects, or problem statements to the table. Through short, structured conversations, they receive fresh perspectives and actionable feedback from peers — and share theirs in return. If you want to share your knowledge without bringing a challenge to the table, you are still most welcome to join this event. 

We’re thrilled to invite you to AIn’t it smart? – a session designed to showcase implementation of processes or tools enhanced by AI, coming directly from our network. A space for knowledge exchange in the GIM community! Guest speaker Attila Steinegger will share with us his honest reflection on WWF Switzerland’s AI journey. Let’s keep growing, learning and innovating together! This Webinar is accessible only to members of the Geneva Innovation Movement. Accept the calendar invite in the email invitation you have received, or contact us to register and receive the Zoom link!

Is AI truly for everyone? Join the fourth Innovation Debate to explore whether the opportunities created by wider access to AI are worth the dependencies it creates. Leading voices will argue for and against the motion: “Access to AI is worth the dependency it creates.” Through an interactive discussion, the event will examine whether AI distributes or concentrates power, strengthens or weakens human learning and judgment, and how its benefits and labour, environmental and social costs are shared. The audience will be invited to weigh whether—and under what conditions—greater access to AI justifies the dependencies that come with it.
