Impact Deal 2026: Demo Day for the Fourth Edition
Fifteen European startups presented the results of a six-month acceleration programme focused on developing data-driven solutions with a strong social and environmental impact.
The fourth edition of Impact Deal, the European acceleration programme for companies using data, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to generate a positive impact on society and the environment, has concluded at OGR Torino.
Held at Binario 3, the Demo Day marked the final stage of a six-month journey during which fifteen Italian and European startups developed and strengthened innovative solutions in collaboration with industrial, institutional and technology partners.
Impact Deal is now one of Europe’s leading programmes dedicated to data-driven innovation. Through the involvement of the Data Club and the Ecosystem Club, the programme gave participating companies access to strategic datasets, specialist expertise, mentorship and connections with investors, businesses and organisations committed to the transition towards more sustainable and inclusive economic models.
In this context, data served as a practical tool for developing and validating new solutions, supporting startups as they addressed social and environmental challenges through innovative, impact-oriented approaches.
The 2026 edition began with an international call for applications that attracted 139 submissions from 38 countries. From these, 30 ventures were initially selected, fifteen of which then advanced to the final stage of the acceleration programme.
Following remarks by Annamaria Poggi, President of Fondazione CRT, Davide Canavesio, Chief Executive Officer of OGR Torino, Ciro Cattuto, Scientific Director of Fondazione ISI, and Leonardo Camiciotti, Executive Director of the TOP-IX Consortium, the startups presented the results they had achieved, their Proofs of Concept and the collaborations established with industrial and institutional partners, as well as the next steps in their growth journeys. Together, these presentations offered a tangible overview of the role of data as a strategic driver of impact innovation.
The startups taking part in the final stage of the fourth edition were Agile Impacts, Climate Standard, Dati Meteo X, EcoShade, eMomentum, Fideliomed, Glassless, Noos, QX, Recycllux, Startex, Tachafy, Tripnly, WeCo Impresa Sociale and Working Mom.
The solutions developed addressed some of the most important areas shaping the future of innovation, from AI for Good and digital health to climate tech, agritech, innovative finance, mobility, clean tech, and social and workplace inclusion.
Impact Deal is the European data-driven acceleration programme for companies with a social and environmental impact, promoted by Fondazione CRT and OGR Torino, Fondazione CRT’s innovation hub. The programme is designed and developed under the scientific supervision of ISI Foundation, with operational management by the TOP-IX Consortium.
