Fifteen global impact projects reach a maturity threshold
High-level participants who took part in the entire Pro-to-Pro Boot Camp worked continuously on structuring 15 transversal global impact projects, covering fields such as climate, ocean, biodiversity, project-based education, regenerative tourism, participatory science, water, energy, and the commons.
These projects are not isolated initiatives or micro-actions. They have been designed as cross-silo architectures capable of mobilizing significant financial volumes, connecting public actors, international organizations, NGOs, businesses, and investors, and generating measurable impact, economic value, and local employment.
Ongoing thematic contributions to optimize each project
Throughout the week, thematic contributors intervened on a half-day basis to provide strategic, sectoral, operational, or financial insights.
These targeted contributions allowed each iteration to enhance the projects even further by strengthening:
- their clarity for funders,
- their economic and institutional robustness,
- their governance,
- their scaling-up pathway.
This mode of operation confirmed one of the Geneva Forum’s key principles: collective intelligence applied to production, not just consultation.
Strong institutional support for alignment with impact finance
Throughout the session, major institutional authorities present expressed clear and unified support for the strategic objective pursued by the Forum:
aligning International Geneva with impact finance—that is, finance connected to projects, territories, evidence, and economic models that generate employment and revenue.
One finding was widely shared:
the main barrier is not the lack of capital, but the lack of sufficiently structured, governed, and legible projects to absorb that capital effectively and responsibly.
The AGILE tool reaches a key milestone
The December 2025 session also marked a decisive milestone for the AGILE Impact Finance Framework.
AGILE is a project evaluation and structuring method designed to create a common language among field operators, international organizations, funders, philanthropists, and investors.
It enables the analysis of a project through several critical dimensions:
real impact, governance, economic model, operational capacity, traceability, scalability, and financial profitability.
Following the Dry Run conducted during this Geneva Forum, AGILE now has its first pool of practitioners and evaluators from various sectors. This community forms the foundation of the future AGILE Competence Center, aimed at supporting the evaluation, monitoring, and refinancing of impact projects over time.
What the Geneva Forum concretely delivered
At the end of the December 2025 session, the Geneva Forum delivered:
- 15 global impact projects that crossed the “concept → structuring” threshold,
- project files in the process of consolidation (V0 to V1),
- a shared common methodology among stakeholders,
- unprecedented alignment between institutions, operators, and funders,
- an immediately operational post-Forum working dynamic.
The Forum thus confirms its specific role:
to bring out, clarify, and make projects fundable where other spaces stop at dialogue.
Operational follow-up – January to March 2026
The year 2026 is fully oriented toward the concrete implementation of the Forum’s results:
January–February 2026
- Post-Forum meetings with project leads to refine strategic positioning.
- Circulation of calls for contributions among International Geneva organizations.
- Publication of the first consolidated project briefs (V1 versions).
- Launch of monthly workshops in Geneva to work on the business and financial integration of projects.
April–June 2026
- Transition of the most advanced projects into structured draft phase.
- Formal launch of fundraising and blended finance initiatives.
- Mobilization of the first funders, philanthropists, and institutional partners.
Second half of 2026 in preparation for the next Forum edition
- Finalization of the first inter-silo investment dossiers.
- Selection of projects entering the proof-of-concept phase.
- Implementation of initial project governance structures and AGILE monitoring mechanisms.
A project-oriented trajectory for International Geneva
The December 2025 session confirms a long-term trajectory:
International Geneva can mobilize not only expertise and capital, but also the methods, tools, and production spaces to once again become a central driver of global transformation.
The Geneva Forum is fully aligned with this dynamic:
a space where finance, science, diplomacy, and field action cease to operate in silos, to jointly build solutions that match today’s challenges.
