inPACT Institute

Institute for building culture, architecture, construction and territory

The inPACT Institute's convergence of skills in the fields of architecture, civil engineering and building technologies is unique in Francophone Switzerland.

The mission of inPACT is to develop innovative solutions for the built environment of the future. We are a competent, neutral and privileged partner for industry and public authorities, well linked to the professional and economic tissue of Switzerland.

The Institute's mindset is influenced by the specific territorial constraints of the Greater Geneva conglomeration, accepting the challenge of reconciling growth in a limited territory while retaining a worldwide recognized quality of life.

Strategic focus

• Sustainable development, innovative materials and structural analysis
