Open Geneva Conferences
The Open Geneva Conferences are moments of inspiration for the general public. The Open Innovation Festival is built around 3 major principles, which are (i) innovation and the future of society, (ii) International Geneva as a global actor in the improvement of the world, and (iii) the perspective of sustainable cities, to which Open Geneva intends to contribute at the scale of Greater Geneva. The Open Geneva conferences are organised in collaboration with the University of Geneva and the Canton of Geneva, as well as partners specific to each conference.
Note: In order to be able to welcome international guests in good conditions, Open Geneva conferences are organised mainly in English.
