The Geneva Innovation Movement loves initiatives like Giga – which unite an ecosystem of cross-sector partners under a shared social goal! We have the great pleasure to invite our members to the Giga Partners Day 2023, which will be held on the 30 November 2023 in Geneva. The Team would be delighted to share with you their vision and plans for the coming years.  The Geneva Innovation Movement is a proud partner of Giga and we embrace this opportunity to give our treasured members an insight in Giga’s great work!

EY and the Geneva Innovation Movement will jointly host the event “Harnessing Cross-Sector Collective Intelligence”. The evening will start with an exciting and interactive panel of leaders from UN, public and private sector institutions. We will work together towards solutions in round-table interactions to debate sub-themes and develop action points. The final plenary discussion will summarize key learnings and point out ideas for further collaboration. There will be an opportunity to network with refreshments afterwards.

On 31 August 2023, starting from 17:30, Members of the Geneva Innovation Movement Association will have the opportunity to meet each other and share their knowledge and experiences in an informal setting. Build your network of people using innovation as a force for good! Members are welcome to bring an invitee and introduce him/her to the GIM before (s)he becomes a member. Join us!

Organizations across sectors set up their innovative initiatives with varying goals, yet they all struggle with the age-old question of how to maintain them – inside or outside? Should my innovative initiative, innovation team, or new idea remain structurally part of the organization or should we spin it off as a stand-alone entity to preserve its creativity, grant autonomy, de-couple from day-to-day operations? What are the ties that then bind the two together and how strong or loose should these be? What are best practices for innovation teams and initiatives today, particularly in large organizations that often struggle to innovate?

Learn form the ecosystem in this event where we will present the findings reported in the white paper “Digital Skills for a Changing World: Transferring Learnings from CERN”. This event will take place in a hybrid setting, so that all GIM Members can participate in this Knowledge Translating event, regardless of their physical location. This event is organised in collaboration with CERN and the Center for Innovation & Partnerships (UNIGE)
