Towards digital sufficiency: Prototype Fund x One Planet Lab

For the first time, the Prototype Fund Switzerland and One Planet Lab (WWF) are combining forces to bring sufficiency and digital innovation onto one stage. Join us as the four Prototype Fund teams present what they’ve built over the last six months — fresh, open-source prototypes designed to reduce ecological footprints through digital means.

Expect an evening of ideas, debate, and impact, as we explore how and in how far (open) technology, sufficiency, and systemic change can drive Switzerland toward a resilient, resource-light future.

With delegates from Mercator and Christoph Merian Stiftung, Jury President Hannes Gassert, and a video message from National Councillor Gerhard Andrey, as well as a powerful keynote from Hugues Ferreboeuf, a leading voice on sustainable digitalization, expert in technological and environmental challenges, researcher, engineer, and entrepreneur. - Stay tuned for more info! 

Whether you work in tech, sustainability, policy, research, or business, this Demo Day is the place to meet the community shaping the future of digital transformation in Switzerland.
