	PROFILE		OUR GOAL : Promoting Innovation
	The Lake Geneva Innovation Society was founded in January 2004 under the leadership of Prof. Ann Kato to promote closer contacts between academic researchers at the institutions of the Lake Geneva Region and the private sector in Switzerland and around the world. It provides the private sector with a privileged "window" on the scientific research being carried out in the region’s universities and institutions and allows academics to develop closer contacts with Swiss and foreign industrialists.		Progress would be impossible without innovation. In the sciences, advances would be inconceivable without the collaboration of academic research centres and the private sector.
