At ge-ni, we understand innovation as purposeful change aimed at collective solutions, not simply novelty for its own sake. Within International Geneva, this takes shape through two complementary strands of social innovation: hard innovation—the development of scalable solutions—and soft innovation—the creation of environments that nurture innovative mindsets. Both are essential for addressing the complex challenges of our interconnected world.

To build and strengthen the innovation network, ge-ni curates physical and digital platforms that multiple stakeholders can access and use collectively. These shared platforms are designed to foster knowledge exchange, collaboration, and problem-solving across institutional and sectoral boundaries.

We further enable this ecosystem by organizing hands-on events and workshops, offering participants the opportunity to co-create, test, and learn together—laying the foundations for sustainable, values-driven innovation in Geneva and beyond.
