On February 12th and 13th, we gathered at OGR Torino to launch the 1st STAGE of the 4th edition of the Impact Deal acceleration program. Together with 30 selected startups, 10 Ecosystem partners, and 12 Data Club members, we started this new journey dedicated to impactful collaborations focused on society and the environment.
The Mezzanino room was full of energy throughout the two days, a space full of ideas, enthusiasm, and opportunities!
What was on the kick-off agenda?
No acceleration program would be complete without a pitch carnival! Each startup had 3 minutes (no more, no less!) to present their project to a room full of partners. At the same time, partners showcased their activities and potential opportunities for future collaborations.
We wrapped up the first day with the famous aperitivo at SNODO, a perfect setting for informal networking and connecting over ideas.
Day two: 1-1 sessions
The second day focused on 1-1 sessions: each partner selected up to 4 startups to meet, spending 30 minutes diving deep into potential synergies and partnership opportunities.
What’s Next?
In the coming weeks, startups will participate in 4 dedicated sessions covering Data, AI, Impact, and Investment. They will also have two coaching sessions with the Impact Deal team to fine-tune their strategies.
We’ll close this 1st STAGE with the Data Pitch: each startup will present which Data Club resources they want to leverage and how they plan to use them. This crucial step will help us, together with our partners, select the 15 startups advancing to the 2nd STAGE of the program.
