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. Jointly organized by the Geneva Research Lab for Digital Impact (GRL), the Geneva Innovation Movement (GIM), 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 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 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.
