Client: FIPOI (Building Foundation for International Organisations)
On 14 April 2025, the Geneva International Conference Centre (CICG) was transformed into a true laboratory of the future. With the support of FIPOI, Braillard Expertise designed and facilitated the “Sprint of Ideas”, a bold workshop bringing together experts, institutional representatives and international organisations to imagine the CICG of 2050.
Rather than settling for reassuring visions, we chose to explore the “uncharted territories” of tomorrow: climate and seismic risks, geopolitical upheavals, technological and social innovation. For it is by confronting the unexpected that we can unlock new potential and build ambitious, resilient strategies.
Four areas of expertise guided this exploration:
- Megatrends – how stable institutions can adapt to a changing world.
- Sustainability – making the CICG a living model of ecological transition.
- Innovation & creativity – harnessing new technologies and social change to reinvent the way people meet.
- Event design – anticipating the future of congresses and conferences.
Through speed meetings, focus groups and plenary sessions, participants co-created concrete scenarios, combining strategic foresight with collective imagination.
