Our Mission in 2025 & 2026

At connectUS, we are dedicated to exploring how innovation can help shape more conscious, sustainable, and livable urban futures. In a rapidly changing world, we aim to empower future leaders to critically engage with the social, environmental, and technological transformations that define modern urban life.

Our mission is to guide FHNW students through key topics such as sustainable urban design, inclusive mobility systems, the influence of digital platforms on consumption and identity, and the growing importance of mental well-being in an always-connected world. From the spaces we build to the choices we make as digital citizens, we look at how innovation can inspire healthier, more responsible ways of living.

By connecting students with experts, companies, and communities in Switzerland, Canada, and the U.S., we seek to foster dialogue, encourage critical thinking, and exchange actionable ideas for more sustainable and human-centered innovation.
