INTRODUCTION

/// OUR STORY

IT IS THE GENEVA APPROACH.”“HERE, INNOVATION IS NOT JUST THE BUZZWORD.

- MICHAEL MØLLER

JUST INNOVATE IS A NON-PROFIT O R G A N I Z A T I O N D E V O T E D T O FOSTERING

Founded in 2012 by students at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID), Just Innovate is a team of young professionals and students from across the world, who believe passionately in the power of communities to generate innovative solutions using human centred design approaches to problem-solving. Drawing on tried and tested design-thinking methodologies, Just Innovate delivers a range of workshops and educational programs to students, organizations and companies. We believe that creating and learning go hand in hand: whether a success or a failure, the participants in our programs learn from the creative process, which in turn propels them to develop new ideas and projects.

Over the course of an intensive two-month period, more than 40 students from a variety of disciplines from universities across Switzerland collaborate to tackle a range of local and global challenges sourced from leading international affairs and development organizations. Throughout the process, participants are supported by a program of workshops and skills trainings as well as mentors from our community of serial entrepreneurs and expert trainers. Run by students, for students, C4SI challenges participants to engage innovatively with real world problems by adopting a “learn by doing” approach.
