How should #Geneva navigate its #digital #future? 🚀 The full recording of The Innovation Debate is now available for all on our website. This year’s edition featured Deborah Mattatia, Alexandre Robert-Tissot, Sebastian Buckup, and Carmen Hett to discuss wether our city should enhance its technological expertise 🤖 or continue to strengthen its globally recognized role around digital ethics, policy, and regulation 🤝. 🌐 Key Takeaways include: - The #balance between technological advancement and ethical governance is crucial for sustainable innovation. One thing cannot thrive without the other. - Geneva's strength in building trust and facilitating international #collaboration sets it apart from other global hubs. - Leveraging Switzerland’s broader technological resources should include potential #synergies with already established tech hubs. - Initiatives like Giga’s school connectivity project exemplify how technology paired with thoughtful governance can address societal issues effectively. The debate ended with a split decision, reflecting the complex nature of this issue. 🗯 Join this debate and share your perspectives.

✨ How did 2025 kick off for the GIM Community? ✨ Debating about innovation and putting up a challenging motion for discussion: ➡️ Geneva's strength in the next decade will be enhanced by fostering technological expertise, coding, and data science skills rather than prioritizing digital ethics, policy, and regulatory knowledge. We witnessed a dynamic exchange of ideas at the 2nd Annual Innovation Debate, co-organized by the Geneva Innovation Movement Association, the Center for Innovation & Partnerships (University of Geneva), and Giga. This one-of-a-kind event brought together forward-thinkers, industry leaders, and emerging innovators to explore the evolving relationship between humans, robots, and our collective future.
