Global Impact Projects: when International Geneva moves from pain to action
Following its December 2025 session, the Geneva Forum structured the working rhythm of the Global Impact Projects, designed as inter-silo architectures capable of funding international organizations, NGOs, scientific institutions, and mission-driven companies, due to the appeal of the economic models for funders.
The goal of these monthly workshops: concrete, clear, and fundable deliverables, capable of supporting the development of all stakeholder organizations involved in these Global Impact Projects, in order to secure their annual revenues and contribute to their growth, while respecting their respective missions.

Money is not the issue in itself: what matters is that the €4 trillion circulating annually in the impact sector is directed toward International Geneva.
A Global Impact Project is a shared and structured mechanism, multi-stakeholder and multi-level, designed to:
- bring together the right stakeholders at the right time,
- clarify a value chain and an operable governance,
- produce a credible economic model centered on the mission,
- integrate philanthropy, impact investment, and blended finance from the design stage,
- and create deliverables that allow institutional funders to finance its stakeholders.
To transform the momentum from the December 2025 Forum into operational dynamics, the Geneva Forum organizes a one-day workshop per month in Geneva, usually on the 3rd or 4th Thursday of the month.
Objective: to collectively advance the Global Impact Projects identified through iterations, from intent to structured outline, then toward deliverables solid enough to trigger commitments at various public and private levels (partnerships, funding, mandates).
Possibility to participate in each module independently.
Morning: Impact Deal Factory
A morning of structuring work, common to all Global Impact Projects, open to already involved operators, observers, and new participants wishing to understand, position themselves, contribute, or engage their organization.
Afternoon: Capacity building and acceleration
An afternoon designed to cross networks, break down silos, attract missing expertise, and generate cooperation opportunities (the kind that are understood without being announced).
Each afternoon follows 3 sequences, in a deliberately fluid order:
- a monthly challenge-topic (a concrete entry point),
- a cross-cutting management theme (what makes the projects operable),
- an executive closing roundtable (decisions and mandates, operational roadmap for what’s next).
Possibility to continue the evening with a networking dinner.

Pre-launch of the Global Impact Projects
Geneva – venue to be confirmed
This first session of the 2026 cycle kicks off operational work on the Global Impact Projects emerging from the 2025 Geneva Forum.

- presentation of the Global Impact Projects that emerged from International Geneva,
- clarification of project visions and scopes,
- identification of key stakeholders and expected roles,

- governance foundations and intersession priorities.
Objective: to create a sufficiently robust common foundation to begin outlining work the following month.

Possibility to participate independently in the day’s different modules.
Welcome between 14:30 and 15:00.
Working session from 15:00 to 18:00.
Sectoral issues, management, and stakeholder engagement
- Geneva’s legitimacy as a coordination platform for impact projects mobilizing technologies, sciences, institutions, and responsible finance
- Links between climate, security, territorial resilience, economy, and peace
The afternoon explores a concrete strategic lever through the Drone for Climate Global Impact Project:
- contributions of drone technologies to environmental monitoring, risk prevention, and territorial resilience,
- perspective on existing initiatives and their limitations,
- clarification of the proposal enabling International Geneva organizations to receive funding and solutions, along with the project’s value and scope.
A specific session is dedicated to the conditions for actor engagement (institutions, operators, partners, funders) and to the modalities of progressive participation.
