The “2040, j’y vais” podcast is a place to listen to the sound of the forest growing, rather than the well-documented sound of the tree falling. The podcast takes the microphone to inspiring people who, through their attitude, vision and commitment, are helping to build the French-speaking Switzerland of tomorrow. We give voice to the analyses, projects and ideas that serve this new paradigm of finite growth in a finite world, and that speak of the interdependence of human beings with the rest of the living world.
“2040 j’y vais!” is the podcast for lucid optimists: lucidity, to make a clear and rigorous diagnosis of the current situation, and optimism, to sustain the collective impetus to undertake change.
So…. Welcome to 2040!
How do you find the courage to act in this world in crisis? How do you stay true to your ideals, when the winds are against you? In this special Podcast, “2040 j’y vais”, we discuss these questions with entrepreneur, writer and film-maker Flore Vasseur.
The energy transition, everyone’s talking about it…. We’re talking about solar panels in the Alps and reviving nuclear power plants. But what about already-built surfaces on which to install solar panels?
In this podcast, we discuss this forward-looking solution with Chloé Gasiglia from Insolight and Stéphane Genoud from HES-SO Valais.

At the end of November, the General Meeting of the fictitious company Chronosphère was held in Geneva, organized by the Hub des possibles, the City of Geneva, the Swiss Federation of Enterprises – FSE and APRÈS-GE.
At the Hub of Possibilities, in 2026, we invite you to open your eyes to everything that’s emerging. To everything that nurtures dialogue, democracy, the rule of law, the regenerative economy and innovation for the common good. We invite you to pay more attention to your sphere of influence, and to take concrete, step-by-step steps towards building tomorrow’s world. For even if those who practice violence, contempt for others and predation take center stage, they do not have a monopoly on imagination and action.
