Vaduz becomes the host municipality of the Idea Channel – Liechtenstein
VADUZ – The Ideas Channel Foundation based in Vaduz has been a pioneer for social progress for over ten years and has developed into the leading collaboration platform for the promotion of new, sustainable project ideas in the Alpine Rhine Valley. The municipality of Vaduz will be the host municipality for the ideas channel from 2023 to 2025 and will also sponsor one topic each time.
The municipality of Vaduz announced this on Wednesday.
The Ideas Channel Foundation supports courageous founders, activists and creative people who want to bring something new into the world. The focus is on initiators, teams or organizations that develop and implement innovative, sustainable project ideas in thematic and spheres of activity supported by topic sponsors.
What is special about the ideas channel’s approach is that it picks up the project initiators at the earliest possible stage of idea development, provides them with a top-class, interdisciplinary network of volunteer experts (accomplices) to work out concrete project plans and actively involves the population in financing the projects through crowdfunding involved. The 17 goals for sustainable development of the United Nations form the comprehensive framework of the ideas channel work.
Host community and theme sponsorship
The heart of the ideas channel is the two-day ideas camp, for which the “Vadozner Huus” was chosen as the venue. It is best suited to this format based on probability, location and infrastructure. However, Vaduz is not only the host municipality, but also participates in theme sponsorships.
Part of this patentship is participation in project forges, where experts and people exchange project ideas and further refine ideas. The municipality of Vaduz itself WILL carry out four project forges in 2023, which will deal with the constructive dialogue between administration, politics and residents.
The municipal council of Vaduz has approved an amount of CHF 126,000 for the implementation of the ideas channel 2023. In each of the years 2024 and 2025, an amount of CHF 90,000 was approved.
