The B2SI – Business meets Social Innovation, the Social Innovation Teams (SIT) community event dedicated to startups with a social and environmental impact, took place on 28 May 2026 in Milan. The initiative was organized in collaboration with Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini and Social Innovation Monitor.

This year’s edition featured, in addition to the startup fair, two panel discussions, a keynote speech, and a pitch session where selected startups with a strong social and environmental impact presented their projects. The discussions focused on investment in impact-driven startups, open innovation processes, and the growing role of artificial intelligence within companies.

The event brought together corporate managers, investors, startups, mentors, experts, and members of the SIT community, providing a valuable opportunity for networking and fostering connections among the key players in the social innovation ecosystem.
