Let's talk innovation policy.
A Cross-Sectoral Innovators Group in Geneva
Innovation Council brings a voice of experience from the real economy about the enabling policies that will best support innovation and the diffusion of technology and knowledge over the long-term.
We believe that technological innovation and collaboration among innovators will be critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We promote inclusive innovation systems, the sharing of know-how on mutually agreed terms, and a fair return for inventive efforts.
Based in Geneva, Switzerland, Innovation Council shares innovators’ perspectives on a range of issues, such as technology diffusion and knowledge-sharing, trade policies, IP protection and enforcement, commercialization of public R&D outcomes, competition rules, open technology standards, and investments in scientific capacity.
Global Innovation Experience
Our members are large and small organizations developing and commercializing new technologies and other solutions that improve people’s lives. We work across sectors and countries, delivering solutions in the form of new medicines, software, seeds, connected devices, processing equipment, materials, and more.
