Manufacture Thinking, a collective that thinks
Manufacture Thinking is a think tank that leverages collective intelligence. For over ten years, we have been dedicated to understanding and innovating in the fields of economics, technology, and artificial intelligence. We act as a bridge between theory and practice, revealing weak signals and exploring the opportunities offered by, and for, the current and future economic landscape of French-speaking Switzerland.
Our reason for being
Fostering prosperity and optimism. Through our independence, multidisciplinary approach, and commitment to innovation, Manufacture Thinking is dedicated to empowering businesses and society to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. By bringing together brilliant and visionary minds, we work to build a future where the economy, technology, and society thrive together in a spirit of generosity and optimism.
Our ambition
Manufacture Thinking's methodology leverages collective intelligence amplified by AI, offering the freedom to explore all avenues. In particular, we developed the "Prompt Future Thinking" method to stimulate creativity and collaboration. Manufacture Thinking is committed to sharing its insights publicly. Through the publication of collaborative books, the organization of workshops, and international fact-finding trips, we foster the exchange of ideas and the discovery of new practices. "The Shapers" awards and our active presence on digital platforms and in the media increase our visibility and amplify our impact.
