Innovative Solutions and Investment Opportunities in Sustainable Finance.
From 30 September – 2 October 2025, Building Bridges returns to Geneva for its sixth edition at a pivotal moment for sustainable finance.
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. 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.
