This graphic reflects this year's connectUS 2025 edition with the three pillars of sustainable transformation:

environment, entrepreneurship and technology.

At the center is entrepreneurship, which drives innovative solutions and business models that combine both technology and the environment.

Together, they promote a sustainable future by balancing environmental, technological and economic progress.

‍

Technological Innovations for Sustainable Productivity: From Agriculture to AI

‍

Emerging technologies such as advanced engineering and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing industries like agriculture and logistics.

These technologies boost efficiency while addressing critical issues like food shortages and environmental impacts.

At connectUS 2025, we explore how these innovations pave the way for a sustainable future.

Urban Resilience and the Circular Economy: Shaping Tomorrow's Cities
‍

Cities are adopting the circular economy by reusing resources and reducing waste, helping to build a more sustainable future.

By including these ideas in urban design, cities become better equipped to handle challenges like climate change and resource scarcity.  

Imagine how old T-shirts can be creatively repurposed into cleaning utilities, or how recycled glass can be transformed into unique, stylish designs.

Through hands-on experiences and workshops, you will discover how innovators drive change and make a significant impact in their communities.

‍

Entrepreneurial Spirit: Driving Innovation and Sustainability
‍

Entrepreneurs have the mindset and drive to create change.

They constantly seek new ways to connect technology and sustainability, discovering innovative solutions to help cities and industries tackle social and environmental challenges.

By remaining committed and balancing technology with the environment, they shape a future where progress and responsibility coexist.

This entrepreneurial spirit drives breakthroughs that create a lasting impact.

Through connectUS, we aim to empower fellow students to make a lasting impact as well.

Why the link from Switzerland to Northern America?
‍

The U.S. is a global leader in innovation and entrepreneurship, making it essential to understand start-up ecosystems and their role in driving economic growth and job creation.

Switzerland is known for its innovative spirit, especially in areas like the circular economy and urban development.

While it may not have the same scale as America, both countries can learn from each other by exchanging technologies and best practices.
