On June 13th, the third edition of Impact Deal wrapped up with a final event: the Demo Day!
The 15 startups selected for the 2nd Stage of the program pitched in front of an audience of partners, investors, and ecosystem players. Each team had five minutes to present their business, the impact they generate, and how they leveraged the data provided through the Impact Deal program.
A challenging exercise, and one that all startups passed with flying colours. A perfect occasion to showcase their work and celebrate six months of acceleration for this year’s cohort!
The event opened with a word from the Impact Deal founders and partners, who reflected on how the program started and how far it has come:
- Patrizia Polliotto – Secretary General at Fondazione CRT
- Matteo Pessione – OGR Tech Coordinator at OGR Torino
- Ciro Cattuto – Scientific Director at ISI Foundation
- Andrea D’Onofrio – Western Europe Lead for Data, Analytics & AI at Microsoft
We were also honoured to host John McIlwaine, Senior Regional Representative for Italy and Malta at the European Investment Fund, for an insightful Fireside Chat about how the EIF supports startups, the role of data, impact, and funding in shaping the future.
We’re proud of the collaborations formed throughout the program thanks to the support of our Data Club members and ecosystem partners. Collaboration is at the heart of Impact Deal, and we’re excited about what has been built together.
