Open Impact s.r.l

Open Impact is an Italian innovative company and university spin-off specialised in the measurement, management and valorisation of social, environmental and economic impact. The company supports public institutions, private companies, foundations, financial actors and third-sector organisations in designing impact strategies, evaluating ESG and sustainability performance, and translating impact data into decision-making tools.

Open Impact combines strategic advisory with proprietary digital solutions, including impact management platforms, dashboards, AI-based tools and an impact benchmarking database. Its work covers the full impact cycle: from theory of change and KPI design to monitoring, evaluation, reporting and impact communication. The company’s methodologies are connected to international sustainability frameworks and taxonomies, including SDGs, ESG standards and social impact assessment approaches such as SROI.

For the Made by Euromed Matchmaking Event for EU – South MED Clusters and Cluster members, Open Impact can contribute to partnerships focused on sustainability, circular economy, textile value chains, zero waste, cluster innovation and EU–South MED cooperation. In particular, it can support clusters, SMEs and business support organisations in measuring the environmental, social and economic value generated by circular and sustainable innovation processes, developing shared impact frameworks, monitoring project results, and strengthening the evidence base for future cooperation, investment and EU-funded initiatives.

Potential areas of cooperation:

• impact assessment for circular economy and sustainable textile projects;

• ESG and sustainability monitoring for SMEs and clusters;

• digital tools and dashboards for project and impact management;

• impact reporting aligned with EU standards and funding requirements;

• evaluation frameworks for EU–South MED cooperation projects;

• support to clusters in demonstrating the value of innovation, circularity and zero-waste practices.

Open Impact’s positioning is particularly relevant for organisations seeking to transform sustainability objectives into measurable results, credible reporting and long-term strategic value.
