Fondazione CRT and OGR Torino, together with Microsoft, present the second edition of Impact Deal, the European data-driven acceleration programme dedicated to enterprises that have a social or environmental impact. The programme will take place at OGR Torino, through the OGR Tech network and hub for innovation and applied research.

Thanks to specific training, mentorship by domain experts, opportunities to achieve national and international visibility and access to exclusive datasets, the entrants selected could develop innovative solutions aimed at generating positive and measurable impact. Key in this respect is the contribution provided by the Data Club – a group of companies and organisations, entities both public and private – which, in addition to TIM, Banca Sella, Fondazione Snam and City of Turin, will be joined for the 2023 edition by The Data Appeal Company, BioEnerys e Wind Tre.

During the six-month programme, Impact Deal will work to accelerate projects that focus on theapplication of data science, the growth of entrepreneurial activities with social and environmental aims in alignment with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By bringing together the corporate world, mainstream investors, high-impact enterprises, mentors and data science experts, the programme will promote initiatives that combine economic, social and environmental sustainability, enabling the formation of specialists by conveying skills about the access and usage of data, with a view to long-term impact.

The programme is aimed at impact enterprises (profit and non-profit, startups, scale-ups, SMEs, cooperatives...) that aim to generate an intentional and measurable positive social impact beyond the mere sale of services or products, focusing on addressing social and environmental challenges and working towards achieving at least one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals outlined by the United Nations.

The call is open and you can send your application until 26 April at https://impactdeal.eu/
