Bvlgari | Swiss Genius

The Italian jeweller has launched Swiss Genius, an award designed by and for Bvlgari, rewarding the most relevant student project focusing on one main topic: Innovation in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

With the launch of the Swiss Genius Innovation Award, Bvlgari aims to challenge future generations, the managers of tomorrow, to embrace this mission with an innovative and entrepreneurial approach, through the development of a project of their choice, around one main topic: how can the luxury industry still innovate in CSR?

This national contest is open to students from selected Swiss universities – Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne, HEC Lausanne, University of St. Gallen, Zurich University of Applied Sciences and Università della Svizzera Italian – pursuing their Master’s studies in 2022.

The jury, composed of renowned stakeholders in the field of sustainability and the luxury industry – Frank Bodin, Founder bodin.consulting / president ADC; Cristina D’Agostino, Editor in Chief Luxury Tribune; Felicitas Morhard, Founder of the Swiss Center for Luxury Research; Eleonora Rizzuto, CSR Director Bvlgari/LVMH Italian; and Jelena Tasic, Managing Director at Lifestyle Tech Competence Center – will  announce the winner at end of June during the award ceremony.

The winning team will be invited to Bvlgari’s HQ in Rome to present their project to the Global CSR team, in addition to a full tour of Bvlgari’s workshops and offices. All pre-selected students will have the opportunity to submit their application for a three-month paid internship within the CSR team in Rome and have their resume carefully reviewed by Bvlgari HR to facilitate their possible recruitment.
