Save the Date for our 7th Edition!
From 6–8 October, 2026, Building Bridges returns to Geneva for its seventh edition, aligning finance with sustainability.
Organised by the Building Bridges Foundation on behalf of its Founding Partners — a unique alliance spanning the financial sector, public authorities, and Geneva-based international organisations — this flagship event is a launchpad for investment-ready ideas, strategic alliances, and high-impact partnerships.
In 2026, we will build on the outcomes of our 6th Edition, where the link between sustainability, resilience, and security emerged strongly, supported by a focus on innovative solutions and investment opportunities. Trust became one of the defining themes, surfacing that without trust, even the strongest de-risking efforts cannot unlock the investment needed, and these needs vary widely across the globe. Asset Owners stood out as pivotal actors and, across the programme, the boundaries between climate, nature, and social dimensions of the transition continued to dissolve.
More than ever, regulators, business, public and private finance, and the multilateral system must work in collaboration. We look forward to bringing this space back to the community as we continue to build bridges to shape the global sustainable finance agenda, together.
