What does the future of life in Switzerland’s urban areas look like?

How can we live in the future in a climate-neutral and biodiversity-promoting way and at the same time create social added value? How can we travel in an affordable, climate-neutral way — privately and professionally? How do we eat regionally and ecologicaly?

These questions can only be answered together, co-creatively and with a new understanding of innovation. With the Innovation Booster Future Urban Society, we have a tool to promote radically new ideas and innovations. Become part, help to mainstream social innovation and secure up to CHF 25,000 for jointly developed ideas during the process.

This project is a Innosuisse Innobooster project.
