Open Call: Radically New Solutions for a More Sustainable Urban Future

As part of Swissnex in San Francisco’s 20th anniversary celebration, this immersive 3-day program will bring together forward-thinking individuals from Switzerland and the West Coast to explore the future of our urban lives. Through a curated program including experts talks, interactive workshops, project showcases and site visits, the program will create a platform for knowledge-sharing, and cross-border and trans-disciplinary collaborations, to foster new partnerships and unleash the full potential of the participants’ projects.

Participants will have the possibility to co-create parts of the program. Time for individual meetings will be mostly available prior and after the 3-day program.
