It was held online on December 4 at 10 a.m. workshop to present and discuss the project for the Social Impact Stock Exchange.

The Social Impact Stock Exchange project

Launched by Torino Social Impact, the project aims to promote the feasibility of a capital market for the social economy, which can integrate the current system of access to resources and facilitate growth processes of companies with social aims, with the aim of generating social value for all stakeholders.

During the workshop was presented the outcome of a study that has deepened the context for the development of a capital market for social purpose organizations, international experiences, analysis of the demand and supply of capital, the possible structure of the future market, also in terms of legal compatibility, access requirements and related control processes.

The objective of the meeting was to share the analysis and collect ideas and observations to foster the development of the project. The meeting was structured through three working groups related to the functioning mechanisms of the Social Impact Stock Exchange.

Participants worked on 3 thematic strands:
Group 1 – Does the Social Impact Stock Exchange serve companies with an impact? – Moderator: Giorgio Fiorentini, Bocconi University
Group 2 – Criteria, rules, and requirements for the actors involved in the Social Impact Stock Exchange system – Moderator: Roberto Randazzo, R&P Legal
Group 3 – The ecosystem and incentives – Moderator: Flaviano Zandonai, CGM Cooperative Group

On February 1, 2021 the second edition of the University Course of Professional Development “Social Impact Assessment” will start. The course is part of Torino Social Impact and is activated by the University of Torino in collaboration with Cottino Social Impact Campus and the Polytechnic of Torino.

Pre-registration is open and will close on 8 January 2021, after which it will be possible to enroll in the course (closing date 22 January 2021).

As far as the mode of delivery is concerned, given the current situation, the course will be delivered online, with live teaching. In the event that there is the possibility, the course itself will be moved to the physical classroom, but the online teaching will still be operative.

For further information on the course structure, please consult the relevant page on the website of the Department of Management: https://www.management.unito.it/do/home.pl/View?doc=formazione_continua.html -> Formazione Continua -> Corsi in attivazione 2020-2021 -> Corso Universitario di Aggiornamento Professionale -> Valutazione d’impatto sociale II edizione or send an email to socialimpact.management@unito.it

The latest research carried out by Unioncamere showed that in the second quarter of 2020 alone, the registrations of new businesses led by women were more than 10 thousand less than in the same period of 2019. This decrease, equal to -42.3%, is higher than that recorded by male activities (-35.2%).

The difficulties triggered by the health emergency have hit the female business world more sensitive to the economic cycle than the male one: 21% of female businesses believe they are more exposed to the negative trend of the economy compared to 18% of male businesses. After the stagnation at the beginning of 2020, the number of employees also registered a sharp drop, which mainly affected the female component. The main causes seem to be: a greater vulnerability of women in the labor market, more employment in the sectors most affected by the pandemic and, finally, a greater burden in family management [1].

“In a context of general emergency that has affected the most diverse sectors, we are witnessing a negative trend in particular on employment and female entrepreneurship. For this reason, we want to be part of the solution, supporting women’s businesses and all businesses that offer services to families. Because a fairer and more inclusive society that values women’s skills and professionalism can generate more growth and well-being for all,” said Roberta Marracino, Head of Group ESG Strategy & Impact Banking at UniCredit.

Against this backdrop, UniCredit is providing concrete support for:

• women entrepreneurs who want to start a new business or who want to grow it. They are offered inclusive and discounted financing, such as microcredit up to 50,000 euros, the support of a network of social partners and access to digital tools useful for business start-ups and financial planning. Finally, they are also provided with a skills support thanks to UniGens, the association of employees and former UniCredit employees, to give solidity to the growth of their businesses.
• profit and nonprofit companies that provide welfare, health and educational services, able to generate a concrete and measurable social impact. Also included are those projects and corporate initiatives that promote welfare services for their employees and their families. They are offered financing with a social impact for over 50 thousand euro at advantageous conditions. Upon achievement of the social objectives, the proposal is completed with the recognition of a donation of up to 20 thousand euros, a training program, the sharing of a network to spread the experiences and, finally, external visibility.

For some years now, SEI’s mid-December agenda witnessed an important event: the DEMO DAY of SEI School’s path committed to bringing the best talents to high-tech innovation, SEI PIONEER. And this year is no exception. 

From December 18th, Google Platform will host teams made up of university students in an inspiring pitch challenge, presenting the innovative products they’ve been realizing during these first six months of the program. Each of them enrolled in ASP, Collegio Einaudi, and from SEIPlus association, received a challenge from international companies recognized as leaders in the tech field: GEDI Digital, Reply, COMAU, Leonardo, and SAP.

All these pitches will be published on SEI‘s Facebook page on December 18th.

You may cast your vote for your favorite pitch here, until Tuesday 22nd.

The Challenges

In these six months, each team has developed an innovative product based on a challenge issued by one of the project’s partner companies. Let’s see which ones. 

GEDI Digital and the master app that fosters conversion – Italy’s leading publishing group has identified a very precise objective with the launch of its challenge: encouraging user-to-subscriber conversion through a new “Master APP” with a focus on LaRepubblica.

Reply and the drones fleet – Reply’s challenge is flying towards the creation of a fleet of self-piloted and 5G tech-based drones. To win it, key features are building a fleet, prototyping a mission planner, creating a UTM platform – for collision avoidance and task management – and implementing 5G communication through an SDN controller.

COMAU and debris sorting – the challenge of this leading Italian robotics and automation company concerns the development of automation focused on the sorting phase of construction and demolition materials. This solution aims directly at the construction site following natural disasters but also planned demolitions in the various construction phases.

SAP and the CleanTech challenge – In the last six months, the team that took up SAP’s challenge worked on the realization of a CleanTech software solution. Its main focus is beyond providing a present energy consumption analysis in office buildings: it looks at the future. Thanks to its integration with a proprietary predictive algorithm, the software is able to provide energy managers with advice and best practices to make consumption optimization possible. 

Leonardo and drone management software – Active in the Aerospace, Defense and Security sector on a global scale, Leonardo has proposed to SEI students a challenge with a triple purpose: to create a software, a network, and an interface for the management of a fleet of drones to be applied to search and rescue situations. 

SEI Pioneer: a project of excellence in the field of innovation

SEI Pioneer is a one-year path of excellence that aims to turn the best talents into the high-tech innovation process leaders of tomorrow. From vision to prototyping, through ideation and value engineering, the SEI – School of Entrepreneurship & Innovation has accompanied the teams along the first path of innovation that will culminate on December 18th. In January, instead, the second phase of the process will be started with the aim of putting to use all the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous 6 months and launching their business idea. 

Save the date

On December 18th, all the pitches will be published on SEI’s Facebook page.

Until December 22nd, you can vote for your favorite pitch.

A documentary film to tell the story of the condominium-museum

of the multi-ethnic district of Porta Palazzo in Turin

a film by Lucio Viglierchio and Miha Sagadin

written and produced by Massimo Arvat for Zenit Arti Audiovisive

from 10.00 p.m. on December 2 to the end of the lockdown of the places of culture

the film remains available on www.condominiomuseo.it

Viadellafucina16 Condominium – Museum

Via S. Giovanni Battista La Salle 16 – Turin

---

In the heart of the multi-ethnic district of Porta Palazzo in Turin, in via La Salle 16, there is a building inhabited by over 200 tenants from 20 countries and 5 continents, which thanks to the artist Brice Coniglio (part of the duo ConiglioViola), has become the scene of a visionary artistic project: it is viadellafucina16, the world’s first condominium-museum experiment: a place definitely out of the ordinary, the absolute protagonist of the documentary film VIADELLAFUCINA16 (ITA 2018 – 18 min) by Lucio Viglierchio and Miha Sagadin.

Three years after its birth, Tuesday, December 1, 2020 from 10.00 p.m. on the website of Artribune Television, it was possible to see a preview of the documentary for 24 hours, available from the following day on all the project channels: www.condominiomuseo.it and www.facebook.com/viadellafucina16.

Written and produced by Massimo Arvat for Zenit Arti Audiovisive and winner of the Mibact Cineperiferie competition in 2018, VIADELLAFUCINA16 tells how a multi-ethnic condominium has become a microcosm in which, through Art, it is possible to read contemporary social dynamics.

With the project viadellafucina16 Brice Coniglio has put himself and all the tenants of the building to the test through the transformative power of art, with an idea as visionary as simple: to invite young artists to spend a period of residence in the building, to create works of art for the common spaces, involving the owners in all phases of the creative process. Its history began in 2016 with a call for proposals to which 400 artists from all over the world responded: with the first residences the old building – renamed viadellafucina16, from the ancient name of the street – became the protagonist of a transformation not at all predictable.

In addition to the works of the young artists selected, the condominium-museum collection houses the works of great masters such as Michelangelo Pistoletto and Giorgio Griffa who donated their works.

Thanks to this project, in fact, a space in a state of thirty years of neglect has been transformed into a place of sharing art and beauty.

In the condominium-museum is now in progress the exhibition GentiliVicini curated by Piera Valentina Gallov with the works of the artists who took part in the residency program 2020 realized with the support of MiBACT and SIAE in Perchicrea. The first exhibition closed to the public – in compliance with the rules imposed by the last DPCM – but reserved to the about 200 inhabitants of the building.

“Courage will pass this one too!’. “Be responsible. Turin deserves our strength!”. “If we get out of this, we will be stronger than before!'”. These are just some of the many messages of hope and resistance left at the end of the survey f the social survey carried out during the first lockdown and entitled Torino How are you?

In the months of the lockdown we had in front of us a confident, frightened or resigned Turin? Which were the most insecure and worried groups?

The survey collected a total of 5,866 people’s opinion thanks to the timely activation of the data collection platform. Among the people with the greatest insecurities were those with dependent elderly parents, less confident than those who were alone or had dependent children. In addition, less than one in ten people expressed difficulties in accessing the various services provided by the city or private companies.

The idea for this interesting social survey came from SocialFare and Nesta Italia in partnership with Experientia and Top-ix.

The project is part of Torino Social Impact and is supported by the University of Turin, Links Foundation, Fondazione Torino Wireless, Cottino Social Impact Campus.

In addition, the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation has supported the experimentation together with the City of Turin through the Department of Innovation, Department of Social Policy, Department of Youth Policy and Equal Opportunities.

The results were announced on December 2, 2020 with an official report.
