Projects & Partners

The Swiss National Park was selected as the first Flagship Site of the Tech4Nature program.

To celebrate and officially mark the launch of this unique partnership in Switzerland, the four partners manifested their commitment to the Tech4Nature vision, in a ceremony at Schloss Planta-Wildenberg in Zernez.

We were invited as key speaker to present new technologies for nature conservation at the ECO FORUM GLOBAL in Guiyang

We were invited together with ORAP, M-Tron and Diamond Leadership to present the potential of Blockchain to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe is a wonderful country with wonderful people but has been struck by hyperinflation and natural disasters in the past few years. PORINI works together with M-Tron and ORAP, two local organizations based in  major towns in Zimbabwe, to introduce blockchain technology into a M-Tron TechnoPark Cluster, to produce energy, clean water and job opportunities for SME in rural areas.

Together with IUCN PAPACO, the Université SENGHOR and the Swiss EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne), Porini developed a Massive Open Online Cours (MOOC) for Africa in the field of new technologies for conservation. The MOOC TECH shows management options based of the newly available connectivity inside – and with other – Parks. MOOC for Africa has more than 10’000 participants.

Swiss Development and Cooperation

Porini Foundation was invited to present our blockchain use cases for the benefit of people and nature and respecting the UN SDG. The Conference was held for the SDC head office in Bern with 74 internal participants.

We offered the screening of  “Thank you for the Rain” at the International Innovation Film Festival (IIFF) in Bern, featuring a panel discussion with the filmmaker in Kenya, Kisilu, a smallholder farmer  fighting climate change in his neighborhood.

PORINI was key speaker at the Webinar on Global Justice held at the University of Fribourg. The webinar discussed decentralized blockchain power and in which way this technology can be used to create a more equitable world.
