Working for the World

What Working for the World does

Genève internationale (geneve-int.ch) is the official information portal of the République et canton de Genève, designed to serve as a centralized hub for International Geneva. The platform catalogs the international ecosystem headquartered in Geneva — 185 states represented by permanent missions, 42 international organizations, and 497 NGOs — and provides a Who's Who directory, an events calendar, news and editorial content (including interviews, Focus topics, and Movers and Shakers), historical archives on figures and architecture, and curated support services for the international community.

The portal is built as a trilingual (English, French, German) Drupal-style web platform, with Matomo deployed for traffic analytics on Cantonal Administration infrastructure. There are no proprietary AI/ML components, APIs, SDKs, or mobile applications; the technology footprint is deliberately lean and consistent with a public-sector information resource rather than a commercial product.

The business model is non-commercial: the portal is operated and funded by the Canton of Geneva as a public service, with no pricing, no transactions, no revenue streams, and no customer contracts. Distribution is purely organic via the website, a weekly newsletter, LinkedIn, and X. The served audience is broad — international organizations, permanent missions, NGOs, researchers, and the general public — and engagement is driven by editorial content and event submissions rather than sales motion.
