We’re not looking for sponsors in the traditional sense, but for partners who share our belief: that digital can be ethical, educational, and rooted in local values. If you’re here, you probably feel the same way.

A human story

Minecraft @ Gad Lab was born from a very personal need — a father wanting to rebuild a bond with his children after a difficult separation. Minecraft turned out to be the key. The neutral ground where everything could start again.

This family project became an educational lab. A private, secure server, hosted in Switzerland, welcoming children aged 8 to 15 to learn to engage with the digital world differently. This origin isn’t incidental — it explains why people, relationships, and trust are at the heart of the project, not performance or technical prowess.

What we’re building — and why it matters.

The generation growing up today is the first to be natively connected. Yet most of their digital time is spent on platforms designed to capture attention, not to shape citizens.

YouTube. Roblox. TikTok. These environments aren’t neutral. They build habits — passivity, consumption, dependence on social validation. And the educational infrastructure to respond to this doesn’t yet exist in French-speaking Switzerland.

Gad Lab is that response. Not the only possible one — but a concrete, operational response that’s already underway.

What a partnership with Gad Lab brings you.

🌱 Measurable educational impact
You support a project that directly equips children and teens with lasting skills — collaboration, critical thinking, digital citizenship, direct democracy. This isn’t abstract patronage. It’s a structured program with clear learning objectives and observable results.

🏷️ A consistent brand position
Associating your name with an innovative educational project, locally rooted and aligned with ethical values, sets you apart in a tangible way. Few players — in digital or elsewhere — can claim such a direct and visible local educational commitment. This partnership can be highlighted in your CSR communications, annual reports, and institutional relationships.

🔭 An investment in your future customers and employees
Children growing up in this ecosystem learn that technology can be local, ethical, and sovereign. In ten years, they’ll choose their digital tools. In fifteen years, they’ll enter the job market. In twenty years, some will be hiring. Early exposure to healthy digital values builds lasting trust — in the organizations that made this project possible.

🧪 A living lab
The server is a unique observation ground: how children engage with a structured digital environment, what decisions they make, how they manage conflicts and shared resources. For a tech company, it’s valuable field feedback on user experience in a playful learning context. R&D collaborations, feature testing, or open-source development are possible depending on your interests.

👥 A pipeline of local talent
By supporting young people from childhood, you help expand the pool of digital skills in French-speaking Switzerland. Some Gad Lab participants will move toward tech training — with an ethical, collaborative digital culture already in place. Early sourcing, low cost, high impact.

Partnership options

Every partnership is discussed and built to fit. Here are the most common options:

💻 Technical partnership
Hosting, infrastructure, tools. You provide the technical resources that keep the project running. In return: direct visibility with families and institutions, and your brand associated with every session.

💰 Financial patronage
Contribution to the project’s development — physical space, equipment, facilitators, documentation. In return: co-branding, visibility on the website and materials, access to sessions and events.

🤝 Institutional partnership
For foundations, associations, and public institutions. Co-design of educational programs, integration into your existing services, sessions tailored to your beneficiaries.

🏫 Educational partnership
For schools and training institutions. Ongoing program, sessions integrated into the curriculum, co-development of learning content aligned with your objectives.

What we expect from a partner

A partnership with Gad Lab isn’t a transaction.
It’s an alignment of values. We’re looking for partners who:

  • Believe digital can be ethical and educational
  • Genuinely care about impact — not just visibility
  • Are ready to commit for the long term rather than one-off
  • Accept that the project will evolve and grow at its own pace

A first chat, no commitment

The best way to see whether our visions align is to talk.
Thirty minutes is usually enough.
