Global Impact Projects: when International Geneva moves from pain to action
Following its December 2025 session, the Geneva Forum structured the working rhythm of the Global Impact Projects, designed as inter-silo architectures capable of funding international organizations, NGOs, scientific institutions, and mission-driven companies, due to the appeal of the economic models for funders.
The goal of these monthly workshops: concrete, clear, and fundable deliverables, capable of supporting the development of all stakeholder organizations involved in these Global Impact Projects, in order to secure their annual revenues and contribute to their growth, while respecting their respective missions.

Money is not the issue in itself: what matters is that the €4 trillion circulating annually in the impact sector is directed toward International Geneva.
A Global Impact Project is a shared and structured mechanism, multi-stakeholder and multi-level, designed to:
- bring together the right stakeholders at the right time,
- clarify a value chain and an operable governance,
- produce a credible economic model centered on the mission,
- integrate philanthropy, impact investment, and blended finance from the design stage,
- and create deliverables that allow institutional funders to finance its stakeholders.
To transform the momentum from the December 2025 Forum into operational dynamics, the Geneva Forum organizes a one-day workshop per month in Geneva, usually on the 3rd or 4th Thursday of the month.
Objective: to collectively advance the Global Impact Projects identified through iterations, from intent to structured outline, then toward deliverables solid enough to trigger commitments at various public and private levels (partnerships, funding, mandates).
Possibility to participate in each module independently.
Morning: Impact Deal Factory
A morning of structuring work, common to all Global Impact Projects, open to already involved operators, observers, and new participants wishing to understand, position themselves, contribute, or engage their organization.
Afternoon: Capacity building and acceleration
An afternoon designed to cross networks, break down silos, attract missing expertise, and generate cooperation opportunities (the kind that are understood without being announced).
Each afternoon follows 3 sequences, in a deliberately fluid order:
- a monthly challenge-topic (a concrete entry point),
- a cross-cutting management theme (what makes the projects operable),
- an executive closing roundtable (decisions and mandates, operational roadmap for what’s next).
Possibility to continue the evening with a networking dinner.

Framing the outline of the Global Impact Projects
Geneva – room to be confirmed
The March 2026 session marks the active structuring phase of the Global Impact Projects engaged in the 2026 cycle.
Its goal is to transform the hypotheses set in February into coherent, scaled, and operable project architectures, in preparation for the formal drafting of outlines starting in April.
Morning – Structuring and scaling the projects
Welcome between 09:30 and 10:00.
Working session from 10:00 to 13:00.
General work open to involved operators, observers, and new stakeholders
The morning focuses on moving from intentions to consolidated project structures:
- review of the framework, decisions, and deliverables from the February session,
- functional structuring of projects (actions, services, platforms, field operations, governance),
- breakdown into operational work packages and clarification of interfaces between actors,
- sizing of beneficiaries and impacts (social, environmental, economic, systemic),
- deepening of the economic model (level 1) and sustainability balances,
- consolidation of governance and key partnerships.
Objective: to have, for each Global Impact Project, a sufficiently robust reference framework to begin drafting the outline starting in April.
Lunch break from 13:00 to 15:00.
Afternoon
Strategic theme of the month: Tourism for eco-responsible transition
Management theme of the month: Scaling and managing complex projects
Possibility to participate independently in the different modules of the day.
Welcome between 14:30 and 15:00.
Working session from 15:00 to 17:30-18:00.
Sectoral issues, management, and stakeholder engagement
The afternoon explores tourism as a systemic lever for transformation:
- the role of tourism in economic, territorial, climate, ecological, and cultural dynamics,
- limits of current tourism models and necessary breakthroughs,
- possible positioning of Geneva as a platform for structuring transition tourism projects,
- analysis of Global Impact Projects integrating tourism as a format, lever, or field of action.
A specific time is dedicated to identifying the conditions for progressive involvement of actors: territories, businesses, institutions, funders, and impact investors.
Management focus of the month:
