It is with great satisfaction that the canton and the City of Geneva today welcomed the announcement made by the SSR. Geneva is therefore neck and neck with Basel and, by participating in this last round of selection, is one of the two regions who could organize the competition next May.
For the Mayor of Geneva, Christina Kitsos, “this is excellent news, we are very happy to see Geneva among the finalists. We will continue our efforts and do everything we can to convince the selection committee of the seriousness and enthusiasm of the Geneva application. Geneva, world city, crossroads of ideas, cultures and peace, is best placed to host this major event.
Thierry Apothéloz, Vice-President of the Council of State, indicates that “we will continue to work hand in hand with the City, Palexpo, Geneva Tourism as well as actors from the economy and civil society in order to propose a project which will make this 2025 edition unforgettable for Switzerland, Europe, but also for the Geneva population.
This successfully completed step marks the high quality of the proposed file. For Geneva, it is now a matter of consolidating its project and answering all the questions from the organizing committee.
The Host City will be designated and announced at the end of August by the SSR.
