The Innovation Connection

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 Giga Research Lab (GRL), University of Geneva and the Geneva Innovation Movement (GIM), 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 - please indicate this by selecting the right ticket type.

Agenda

Participants rotate through three 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 present their challenge and share their key take-aways or surprising insghts. We will end the event with an opportunity to network over a light lunch.
