24h to become a change-maker in sustainable finance
Since 2019, Open Geneva has organized its annual hackathon on sustainable finance, in the framework of the Building Bridges Week, with the support of Geneva’s leading financial institutions, the University of Geneva and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research.
This 24h hackathon gathers multidisciplinary teams to find practical solutions to concrete problems in the field of sustainable finance, owned by financial companies, startups, international organizations and academic institutions.
This year marks the 6th edition of the hackathon, taking place on October 11-12 in the SDG Solution Space and Campus Biotech in Geneva.

Whats new this year?
This year we're adapting the hackathon to address evolving industry needs. While remaining committed to sustainable finance, we're expanding our focus to encompass new themes at the crossroads of finance, social responsibility, and emerging technologies.
We're diving deeper into CSR, exploring how finance can address social issues and conflicts. Furthermore, this edition will reflect the priorities of a new generation seeking to reshape our financial system with challenges shaped and presented by students from the University of Geneva.
