“Emerging innovation – what global companies can learn from emerging markets”

Our regular readers will by now have noticed that we’ve been carrying a banner ad at the top of our pages for the upcoming Economist Conferences session on innovation, 2 December in Geneva, with a 15 percent registration discount.

We’re very pleased with our new partnership with The Economist, one of two GenevaLunch media partnerships; the other media partnership we have is with Swiss weekly news magazine l’Hebdo, whose content we have republished on occasion.

These two top quality news groups represent the high level of journalism we believe people need to remain well-informed about the world around them. Whether you agree with what these publications have to say is not the point: their research is solid and their credibility good, providing a starting point for intelligent discussions and reflections about current topics.

Part of our agreement with Economist Conferences is that they will provide a discount to GenevaLunch readers for the conference fee  and we will cover the conference in our capacity as a regional media company.

Our credibility is important to our readers so we do not, as a rule, offer product or service discounts, a commercial operation that implies endorsement. The Economist conference in Geneva is part of the group’s worldwide conference series and an important part of Geneva’s rich fabric of conferences. This is one of the rare times when a significant number of people from the Lake Geneva region’s three business populations mix: local companies, international organizations, multinationals.

GenevaLunch has a third partner, the annual Lift conference on technology and society, which also brings these three groups together, part of the reason we work closely with them, and we expect our new partnership with The Economist to develop in the same way.

GenevaLunch fills an important gap in news reporting with its reliable coverage of Lake Geneva regional and national Swiss news in English. Our daily world news digest uses a balanced international approach appreciated by the mixed population in the region.

We’re an information bridge connecting the three groups mentioned, and we’re delighted we can enrich this with our newest partnership. To kick it off, we’ll be publishing an interview Monday 8 November with Susan Clark, the managing director of The Economist‘s Continental Europe-Africa-Middle East office in Geneva.

For those of you who tend to decide late about conferences, we’ll post a reminder here in two weeks to say time is running out.
