Between ecological transition and discovery
To launch its 51st edition, the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva is putting CleanTech centre stage at the Swiss Pavilion, with a programme dedicated to technologies, services and business models capable of reducing the environmental impact of human activities.
Events not to be missed at the Swiss Pavilion
- At 10:00 a.m., Didier Faure, founder and managing director of Transit-On, will deliver an original talk on risk management, drawing parallels between wingsuit flying, planetary boundaries and the constraints of the real world.
- At 11:00 a.m., Charlotte Melly will look back on 15 years of CleantechAlps and the rise of a truly dynamic Swiss innovation ecosystem.
- At 3:00 p.m., Raphaël Domjan, a leading public figure in sustainable innovation in Switzerland, will continue this momentum with a conference on innovation in the service of the energy transition.
Explore, understand and experiment
This opening will also give pride of place to children and families. Throughout the day, Scienscope, the science outreach centre of the University of Geneva, will offer interactive workshops led by scientists. Quantum physics will be the common thread, presented in a lively and accessible way.
From 1:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Digital Kidz will invite children aged 4 to 12 to explore coding, robotics and artificial intelligence through a workshop designed for hands-on learning and experimentation. A dedicated AI workshop will also be offered from 4:00 p.m. to 5:20 p.m., in 20-minute slots, for children aged 7 to 12, upon registration.
Between sustainable innovation, scientific discovery and youth workshops, this opening sets the tone for the 51st edition: an Exhibition focused on the future, while never losing touch with reality.
