Conexkt makes it our mission to create positive impact. Now, we’re helping youth do the same thing.

Conexkt has received an award from the Prototype Fund: a Switzerland-based funding program committed to helping tech innovators develop open-source projects to strengthen political participation in the country.

Using these funds, our team will develop impACT: an app aiming to solve the problem of low political participation among Millennials and members of Generation Z in Switzerland.

By aggregating openly available data into a user-friendly interface, impACT will allow youth to make a difference in the areas that matter most to them through specific information and targeted actions. For example, users will be able to learn how the Swiss political system works, contact their local representatives, sign online petitions and initiatives or join organized political groups based on their values and specific areas of interest.

Together, we’re reviving political participation in Switzerland to create the future youth believe in.

Visit the Prototype Fund’s website to learn more about projects supported by this program.
