What if we imagined what a Geneva watchmaking company employing 450 people might look like in 2040? What challenges would it face? How will it manage artificial intelligence, sustainability, governance and its production chain? How will it produce within planetary limits? The Hub des possibles invites you to a mock general meeting of the chronosphere company.

This exceptional evening, organized as part of the City of Geneva’s Climate Week, will take place on Monday November 24, 2025 at 6:00 pm, at the Salle Communale de Plainpalais.

During this evening, you’ll attend the Annual General Meeting of the fictitious company chronosphère, a flagship of the Geneva watchmaking industry, which employs over 400 people. You’ll take a trip into the future, as the AGM takes place in November 2040. And as a participant, you’ll represent the shareholders and vote on the company’s future strategic directions.

On November 24, 2025, a number of Swiss personalities will present the Chronosphère company and the challenges it will face in 2040:

  • Mr Alfonso Gomez (Mayor of Geneva)
  • Mr François-Henry Bennahmias (former CEO Audemars Piguet).
  • Ms Alisée de Tonnac (Seedstars)
  • Mr Nicolas Freudiger (ID Geneve)
  • Mr Vincent Kaufmann (Ethos Foundation)
  • Mrs Sophie Michaud-Gigon (FRC)
  • Mr Fabio Monte (QoQa)
  • Ms Chantal Peyer (Hub des possibles)
  • Mr. Jonathan Normand (BLab Switzerland)
  • Mr Christophe Barman (Loyco)
  • Ms Sara Gnoni (The positive project)

This event is organized by the Hub des possibles, the City of Geneva, the Swiss Business Federation, APRES-GE, in partnership with the Ethos Foundation, Swiss Leaders, the Cercle Suisse des Administratrices, BLab and Swiss Sustainable Finance.
