Innovation Dialogues
The Innovation Dialogues are organized visits to companies which have been put forward by the GCC, and they include the participation of Geneva-based researchers and university teachers. These visits enable companies to formulate the specific innovations needed to maintain or improve their competitiveness.
These Innovation Dialogues have already produced many concrete results in the form of CTI projects, mandates, or dissertations and semester projects for university students.

TechLunches
The TechLunches are intended for anyone who is interested in new technologies and has experience and expertise to share. In a relaxed atmosphere during the lunch break, an original idea for a product or service is presented. The ensuing debates invite participants to imagine potential applications and business models to develop and commercialize the product or service. These exchanges are also useful to anticipate potential barriers to logistics and commercial deployment of these new ideas.

Their goal is to identify the potential of this academic research and translate it into the creation of a commercial product or service, and also to collaborate in the use of specialised equipment developed or purchased by the universities for the research of local businesses.
