Torino e Balcani: cosa può insegnare una study visit sull’imprenditoria sociale ?🌍🤝
Dal 20 al 24 aprile 2026 Torino ha ospitato la study visit del progetto Young Entrepreneurs in the Balkan Region.
Giovani imprenditori e imprenditrici da Albania, Bosnia ed Erzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia e Italia hanno vissuto una settimana dentro l’ecosistema torinese dell’innovazione sociale: formazione, visite sul campo, incontri con realtà imprenditoriali e cooperative, confronto e scambio tra pari 🚀
Un insight che ci portiamo a casa: l’imprenditoria sociale non cresce solo con una buona idea. Per generare impatto servono metodo, competenze e reti solide.
Il percorso prosegue nei prossimi mesi con mentorship individuale, la study visit in Albania e la preparazione delle sessioni di pitch previste in autunno 🎯
👉 Vuoi essere coinvolto nelle prossime attività del progetto (formazione, mentorship, pitching)?
🤝 O vuoi costruire con noi partnership, study visit o percorsi formativi su imprenditoria sociale e innovazione a impatto?
Scrivici: stiamo raccogliendo contatti e proposte.

Turin & the Balkans: what a study visit can teach us about social entrepreneurship 🌍🤝
From 20 to 24 April 2026, Turin hosted the study visit of the project Young Entrepreneurs in the Balkan Region.
Young entrepreneurs from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia and Italy spent a week immersed in Turin’s social innovation ecosystem: training sessions, field visits, meetings with entrepreneurial and cooperative organisations, and peer-to-peer exchange 🚀
One takeaway we’re bringing home: social entrepreneurship doesn’t grow on a good idea alone. To create impact, you need method, skills and strong networks.
The journey continues with individual mentorship, the upcoming study visit in Albania, and preparation for the pitching sessions scheduled for autumn 🎯
