9 IMPACT PROJECTS
Impact Club 2024-2025
Among 44 applications, together with the investors and philanthropists who are part of Impact Club, we have selected 9 impact-driven projects. From July 2024 to March 2025, the teams will be engaged in the incubation program with the goal of developing a sustainable business model that combines impact with an appropriate financial return. Here is a brief preview of the projects!
The 2024-2025 incubator is curated by the Impact Club team (Catie Burlando, Tommaso Tabet, and Carlotta Zarattini), with the support of Mirko Bianchi and Angelica Morrone. Impact Club has designed this new edition of the program as a hybrid learning experience, both in-person and digital, which enhances team learning and stimulates collective intelligence.

Chiasso
A sartorial brand of clothing and accessories for girls and boys, each piece is unique and meticulously handcrafted. The materials used are certified natural fabrics, many of which are reclaimed warehouse remnants that we reintroduce into the market. This approach allows us to reduce environmental impact and give fabrics a second life.
Our team aims to raise awareness among parents about making more conscious purchases—fewer clothes, but ones created based on real needs, designed to grow with their children, and, if properly maintained, stand the test of time.
