The Swiss Pavilion brims with ideas
On Sunday 15 March, the Swiss Pavilion will host a rich and lively programme at the crossroads of creativity, entrepreneurship, knowledge-sharing and innovation support. Throughout the day, you will discover a wide range of Swiss startups active in many different fields, reflecting a vibrant and fast-moving innovation ecosystem.
Children invent for real
From 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., children will be able to take part in Design ton invention, a workshop created by Design ton futur. Spotting a problem, imagining a solution, drawing it, digitising it and then presenting it on stage: this playful and stimulating format invites children to step into the shoes of an inventor. Two public presentation sessions will take place at 11:45 a.m. and at 3:15 p.m..
Growing a project without raising funds
At 11:00 a.m., the conference Ne pas attendre l’autorisation : faire grandir une invention d’envergure européenne, sans levée de fonds will trace the journey of Genius Loci, a Swiss innovation in augmented tourism and the promotion of local heritage. It will show how an invention can grow through design, customer insight, prototypes, iteration and hands-on field experience.
Telling science differently
At 2:30 p.m., La Fabuleuse Maison Cerveau will present a conference exploring a different way of sharing neuroscience, through children’s books and augmented-reality storytelling tools.
Protecting ideas
WIPO, in collaboration with the IPI, will also offer a session dedicated to the major challenges of intellectual property. For the rest of the day, booth K45 will welcome both exhibitors and visitors for walk-in consultations on patents, trademarks, copyright, industrial designs, arbitration and mediation. All conferences will be held in French.
