Impacto Centro Studi is a Third Sector organization founded in Turin in 2025 as a space for research and incubation of innovative ideas, based on the conviction that public funds must be used ethically and responsibly, avoiding waste and generating the greatest possible social value. Impacto promotes research, training, and the strategic empowerment of public and private entities to make social innovation more accessible and conscious across Europe, through an ethical, participatory, and long-term impact-oriented approach.
Impacto’s mission is to support social innovation and broaden its dissemination among stakeholders by building effective and sustainable partnerships capable of creating positive and lasting impacts in European communities. Its vision is of a Europe where social innovation is the driving force behind sustainable development, reducing social and environmental inequalities through collaboration between profit and non-profit actors.
Today, Impacto is a non-formal network of more than 50 European organizations, both profit and non-profit, that share common values and operate within a collaborative space for exchange and co-creation, implementing projects driven by social innovation.
Our pillars include: promoting social innovation and impact measurement as a driver of change; ensuring ethical access to EU R&D funds through tools and shared good practices; integrating sustainability and addressing climate change; empowering social entrepreneurship, with a focus on women and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds; fostering inclusion and accessibility, both physical and digital; and enhancing technical skills and competences to advance social innovation at European and international level.
Impacto stands out for its ability to spread a true culture of impact, transforming project results into shared value. Human capital and collaborative networks are at the core of our work: we believe that investing in people and in European cooperation opens the door to a new paradigm of ethical and sustainable innovation.
