Call for Action Events: Building Bridges 2026
The 7th edition of Building Bridges will take place from October 6th to 8th 2026, in Geneva, Switzerland, bringing together key decision-makers from finance, business, government, civil society, academia, and international organisations. This annual flagship event serves as a dynamic platform to share insights, foster collaboration, and drive collective action at the intersection of finance and sustainable development.
At the heart of Building Bridges are the Action Events. Together, they offer a unique crowd-sourced program, where organisations have the opportunity to showcase their initiatives, highlight innovative solutions, and engage in meaningful discussions that advance sustainable finance. Whether addressing decarbonization, biodiversity, sustainable supply chains, climate risk, emerging markets or the evolving regulatory landscape, we welcome proposals that contribute to a diverse and impactful agenda. Relevant for all, yet crucial for those moving capital.
¿Quiénes pueden presentar su solicitud?
Organisations from around the world–including financial institutions, corporations, non-profits, government entities, multilateral organisations, and academic institutions–are invited to submit proposals. While based in Switzerland, Building Bridges is an internationally-focused event, and many organisers successfully participate remotely during the planning and preparation stages.
