From June 25 to 27, 2025, CRCP 2025 was held in Geneva, Switzerland. This important forum brought together governments, international organizations, NGOs, and social innovators from around the world to explore sustainable solutions to the challenges faced by refugees.
◆New Cooperation and Innovation Born from Constraints
One of the key issues addressed at CRCP 2025 was the reduction of refugee support budgets, particularly from the United States. Yet rather than impeding progress, these financial constraints strengthened solidarity and collaboration among participants and became a catalyst for fresh innovation. Active discussions were held on diverse themes such as education, employment, family reunification, and complementary pathways, highlighting new possibilities for addressing the challenges faced by the international community.
◆Robo Co-op’s Presentation — The Impact Fund
At the conference, Robo Co-op introduced its innovative financing model, the Impact Fund, which has been launched on a pilot basis in Japan. This mechanism, designed to bridge funding gaps in resettlement, social inclusion, and entrepreneurship support for refugees, attracted significant attention. It resonated strongly with participants as a sustainable approach to addressing social challenges through creativity and new models, even in the face of limited budgets.
◆Looking Ahead
Through CRCP 2025, we were reminded of an important lesson: constraints can be the source of new cooperation and ideas. Robo Co-op is committed to ensuring that the connections and dialogues sparked at this gathering do not end here. We will continue to move forward hand in hand with partners across borders.
We remain dedicated to expanding sustainable initiatives that enable refugees to fully realize their potential and to shape their own futures within society.
