NextBillion - A WDI Publication

Building Bridges returns to Geneva for its seventh edition, aligning finance with sustainability. Organised by the Building Bridges Foundation on behalf of its Founding Partners — a unique alliance spanning the financial sector, public authorities, and Geneva-based international organisations — our annual flagship event is a launchpad for investment-ready ideas, strategic alliances, and high-impact partnerships.

Under the theme “Investable Solutions to Global Challenges,” we will build on the outcomes of our 6th, where the link between sustainability, resilience, and security emerged strongly, supported by a focus on innovative solutions and investment opportunities. Trust became one of the defining themes, surfacing that without trust, even the strongest de-risking efforts cannot unlock the investment needed, and these needs vary widely across the globe. Asset Owners stood out as pivotal actors and, across the programme, the boundaries between climate, nature, and social dimensions of the transition continued to dissolve.
