Our Programs

From idea to action

In 2018, we launched the Circular Economy Transition (CET), a pioneer initiative for the transition to the circular economy in Switzerland and around the world.

Co-initiated with sanu durabilitas, and with the support of the MAVA Foundation, it is currently taking place in 6 cities – Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Ticino and Zurich.

LET’S SHAPE the transition TOGETHER

Maison de l’Avenir

The Maison de l’Avenir is a prototype space designed to bring people together around the ecological transition. Co-created with local citizens and institutions, it aims to inform, connect and inspire action.

Workshops, exhibitions, forums and events are hosted weekly to explore solutions on climate, biodiversity, circular economy, and more.

Whether you’re an engaged citizen, an association or an entrepreneur, join us to share ideas, co-create initiatives, and bring the transition to life together.

BRING YOUR CIRCULAR IDEAS TO LIFE

Circular Economy Incubator

The Circular Economy Incubator enables individuals and start-ups to prototype and develop innovative solutions that help accelerate the transition to a circular economy in Switzerland.

During the programme, with the support of high-level mentors, experts and our network of impact investors, the selected entrepreneurs work on implementing their solutions and validating their business models.

a nationwide health program

Month Without Tobacco

The Month Without Tobacco is a collective challenge that supports smokers in quitting during 30 days, with the help from healthcare professionals, an online community and motivating resources.

Offered in French, German, Italian, and English, this free program boosts your chances of success through daily tips, participants’ exchange, and personalized professional support throughout the month of November.

The project is coordinated by Impact Hub Geneva-Lausanne with financial support from the Tobacco Prevention Fund (TPF) and the involvement of a network of committed local partners.

AI for good

Swiss {ai} Weeks

Swiss {ai} Weeks is a nationwide, community-driven movement turning Switzerland’s world-class AI research into real-world solutions. From September to October 2025, hackathons, AI talks, panels, online courses and hands-on workshops pop up in more than 10 cities, giving everyone – from students to CEOs – a stake in responsible Swiss AI.

Impact Hub Geneva supports the adoption of AI by local SMEs and hosts AI hackathons for the broader community. Through AI, we aim to drive positive impact and contribute to building a better economy and society.
