Thank you all for this
8th Open Innovation Festival!
This year, almost 1,000 participants came together to experience over 30 innovative events, concretely stimulating collective intelligence in Geneva.
Throughout the Festival, we experimented with a new citizen journalism tool. The community got involved, sharing their experiences and highlights of the Festival. The result? Some fifty articles published in the Festival Journal, illustrating the vitality of this innovative approach to communication.
