The ecosystem is a key player in the global map of the impact economy, with its community of social impact actors and a collective brand that is increasingly recognized at the European and international level.

Thanks to its highly innovative model, Torino Social Impact has established itself as a reference point in Europe and beyond. It has been actively involved in the development of the EU Action Plan for the Social Economy and is officially recognized as a European cluster for the proximity and solidarity economy.

It participates regularly in the European Conference on Social Economy and in numerous international events and projects. It has also hosted in Turin the most important international forums dedicated to the social economy and impact finance, maintaining a wide relational network with other territories and organizations—and making it available to the entire ecosystem.

It is a member of major international networks such as REVES (European Network of Cities and Regions for the Social and Solidarity Economy), DIESIS (Developing European Initiatives for a Social and Solidarity Economy), Impact Europe, Social Impact Agenda – GSG Italy NAB, and Social Value.
