IDEAS COMPETITION 2025
10 years – 10 ideas – 100 possibilities to carry on the spark
​
What should our society look like in 2035?
Which impulses do we need today to shape the Switzerland of tomorrow?
Do you have an idea? ​​
We are looking for sparks that will create a brighter future!
​
2035 has established itself as the target year for many ambitious global projects – but where do we want to be as Switzerland in 10 years' time? And how can we achieve this?
​
In 2025, the Reatch ideas competition is coming back with a new, exciting format for the final, which is all about the next 10 years ahead: we are looking for ideas and projects that generate a momentum for the future.
Let's bring society, politics and science together to shape the Switzerland of tomorrow!
​
​
Who can participate?
The competition is open to everyone.
Each idea will be evaluated by at least 2 people from the Reatch Committee.
To us, it is important that the idea:
​​
-
offers something new and surprising
-
is solution-orientated, future-oriented and feasible
-
brings science, society and politics together for its implementation
Why should I participate?
The 10 best ideas will be invited to shine at the Finale in Bern on 03.05.2025, receive tips from a jury from politics, the media, science and civil society on how to realise their idea – and win cash prizes.
​
The selected finalists will receive exclusive pitch coaching before the big event – so that they are well prepared to impress with their idea.
