A key moment in the life of the CCIG and its members, this event has two phases:
The "Séminaire économique" covers a topic of current interest. In 2012, it focused on a study entitled Genève : un pôle de formation tourné vers l’économie ? The Award ceremony got a facelift: in partnership with the Office de Promotion des Industries et des Technologies and the Département des affaires régionales, de l’économie et de la santé, the CCIG awarded for the first time two Prizes created with the aim of emphasizing the Geneva economy and honoring renowned and brilliant companies which convey a positive vision of Geneva.
The Prix de l’économie genevoise 2012 was thus awarded to Group H, bureau européen d’architecture et d’ingénierie. The Prix de l’innovation 2012 was awarded to WISE – philanthropy advisors.
