Sparkboard
Sparkboard
The Sparkboard is the web platform developed and made available free of charge by Open Geneva. This tool allows the promotion of hackathons, facilitates the organisation of hackathons for organisers, the follow-up of projects born from these events, as well as the direct connection between innovators and accelerator programmes in the Lake Geneva region.
If you wish to organise an event/hackathon using the platform, please complete this questionnaire

Newsletters
Communication & Visibility
A project does not exist if it is not talked about. Whether it is within the community of innovators, in the media, or with acceleration partners, projects must be visible in order to find resources, be they technical, financial, human, logistical, etc.
Each month, a newsletter is sent to the network of innovation actors, innovators, supporters and partners of Open Geneva. This communication aims to present and follow the innovation projects born from the hackathons, to announce the events related to innovation in Geneva (hackathons, conferences, workshops...).
