The first interactive mapping of the Geneva philanthropy sector – illustrating the high density and dynamism of foundations in the country – is online today.

Philanthropy is a historical and discreet sector of Geneva’s economic and social fabric that the Conseil d’Etat wishes to enhance and modernize through strengthened framework conditions and a renewed dialogue with stakeholders in the field.

This map supports the approach to promoting the canton’s strategic economic sectors initiated a year ago by the Directorate General of Economic Development, Research and Innovation (DG DERI) with the mapping of sustainable finance, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), support organisations and companies participating in the Best for Geneva programme.

More information on the Directorate General for Economic Development, Research, and Innovation website, as well as in the French-speaking press.
