Building Bridges 2025 will take place on September 30 - October 2 at the CICG in Geneva. This year’s edition builds on proven formats that enable collaboration to drive capital towards real-world impact, sharpen the investment case for sustainability, and strengthen collaboration across sectors. With growing urgency and complexity defining the global landscape, Building Bridges is doubling down on action—spotlighting scalable finance solutions that address systemic risks and unlock long-term value.

Now in its sixth year, the platform will convene senior decision-makers and asset allocators to spotlight investable solutions across the sustainability value chain—from nature-positive portfolios to social infrastructure and transition technologies. With risk mitigation at the forefront, Building Bridges will profile strategies to manage climate and nature-related financial risks, enhance resilience, and convert uncertainty into opportunity.

The Summit and high-level Plenaries set the strategic tone, spotlighting strategies to finance the net-zero and nature-positive transition, scale innovative mechanisms, and align corporate action with sustainability goals. A crowd-sourced programme of Action Events and the dynamic Solutions Stage will workshop and spotlight innovations designed to de-risk capital flows and mainstream sustainability into financial decision-making. Meanwhile, curated networking moments throughout the event foster connections that have the potential to translate dialogue into deployable capital and durable impact.

Today Geneva is universally recognized as a global financial center. Its reputation depends on the expertise and skills of the 37,900 people working in finance and banking. Innovation is another key success factor. The Geneva financial center is exploring many promising avenues to pioneer the finance of the future, including FinTech, sustainable finance and philanthropy.

Switzerland has no reason to be ashamed of its digital capabilities!

According to the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2024, "Switzerland progressed significantly in high-tech exports (9th), e-participation (up 11 positions to 27th), and cyber security (11th), and its key strengths are intellectual property rights, international experience, communications technology, knowledge transfer, and foreign highly skilled personnel".

In the latest edition of the Boston Consulting Group's (BCG) Global Wealth Report, published in July 2024, Switzerland continues to top the list of financial centres ranked according to the volume of cross-border assets.
 

With USD 2,600 billion in foreign-owned assets managed in Switzerland, Switzerland is ahead of Hong Kong (USD 2,400 billion) and Singapore (USD 1,700 billion).

Despite temporary concerns about sanctions and asset freezes, and a major bank merger, Switzerland continues to be a bastion of cross-border wealth, thanks to its neutrality, stable economy, low inflation and  a highly-developed financial infrastructure.
