The Competence Center for Innovation and Partnerships aims to create, share and promote knowledge on innovation and cross-sector partnerships in the Geneva ecosystem.
Ìý
It develops systematic research to catalyze innovation, grows learning-based partnerships across organizations, including the private and public sectors, and spurs and disseminates ideas to create impact.Ìý
Our research activities include all sectors and emphasize thatÌýinnovation is increasingly created through cross-sector partnerships. These are key to addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, the United Nations agencies are increasingly embracing innovation strategies and initiatives toÌýrenew and remain relevant in today’s changing environment - private and public sector organizations are collaborating to realize this potential.
To address this challenge, we conductÌýsystematic research to understand which factors help innovation thrive in international organizations and cross-sector partnerships. We disseminate this knowledge to support innovation leaders andÌýenable all organizations to learn from each other and implement best practices.
