Swiss Impact Week 2026

Collaborate.Invest.Envision.

Swiss Impact Week 2026 runs Monday 5 October to Friday 9 October in Geneva, Switzerland, structured as a three-act arc: a day to Collaborate, three days to Invest, and a day to Envision — moving from strategic synergies to capital mobilization to community-driven roadmaps.

Day 1: Collaborate — Forge Strategic Synergies for Effective Partnerships

Monday, October 5, 2026, in Geneva. Participants dive into the LCPA ecosystem to discover the wide spectrum of sustainable approaches, solutions, seasoned experts, and funding models supporting impact project financing. Language available in French or English.

Days 2–4: Invest — Catalyzing Global Capital for the Infrastructure Financing Gap

Tuesday to Thursday, October 6–8, 2026, in Geneva. These three days focus on specific themes through panel discussions, masterclasses, workshops, and pitching sessions so infrastructure projects can emerge and be structured to be bridged with funding opportunities and investments from partners. Registered participants can attend the opening morning session of Building Bridges 2026; five half-day thematic workshops run in parallel and can be attended à la carte based on interest.

Day 5: Envision — Plan the Future with Local Communities

Friday, October 9, 2026, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Geneva. Participants build strong ecosystems so that local communities are at the heart of impact projects — designing roadmaps with local communities, governments, NGOs, businesses, and investors through actionable partnerships.
