The Innovation Connection

Date: 02 September 2026, 11:30 - 13:00

Location: Giga Connectivity Center, Campus Biotech, Geneva

Fresh Ideas, Real Conversations, Meaningful Connections

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) at the 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 from the digital inclusion space 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.

Agenda

Participants rotate through short conversations (10 minutes) with different partners. Each round allows participants to share a challenge and receive quick, constructive feedback. After three rounds, the group reconvenes and participants are invited to briefly present their challenge and share their key take-aways or surprising insghts. We will end the event with an opportunity to network.
