Today's infrastructure for tomorrow's sustainable development

17 January | House of Switzerland at WEF 2024

Team Switzerland aims to highlight the essential role of Swiss expertise in reshaping large-scale global infrastructure projects, by presenting relevant examples, with sustainability in mind. In this junction of ideas and insights, a selection of guests is invited to join an exclusive conversation that holds the key to building a thriving future.

As we stand at the crossroads of technological innovation, climate action and economic progress, it's essential to recognize that the infrastructure we build today forms the foundation upon which future sustainability will be built. Our choices today profoundly impact future generations' quality of life and opportunities, making the concept of 'Today's Infrastructure for Tomorrow's Sustainable Development' the central point of emphasis. From energy systems that must adapt to changing demands while reducing their carbon footprint, to transportation networks designed for efficiency and eco-friendliness, the decisions we make today will shape the trajectory of our planet's future.

In response to our rapidly changing world, it's essential to understand the challenges we face and promote collaboration among influential thought leaders and decision-makers. This is vital for achieving the sustainable future we aspire to. The journey toward this transformation has already begun and can be expedited by sharing business opportunities strategically and offering mutual support in addressing urgent global issues.

This is an exclusive event organised by Team Switzerland, on invitation only.
