Enactus Unipd

During 2020, in order to encourage the development of entrepreneurial skills in young people, the collaboration between the University of Padua and the Enactus Italia organization was born and the Enactus Unipd team was formed, an international and multidisciplinary team of university students committed to developing innovative projects with a high social, economic and environmental impact, in line with the sustainability objectives indicated in theUnited Nations 2030 Agenda.

Enactus means:

Entrepreneurial – starting ideas and businesses with passion and innovation
Action – the experience of sustainable impact, achieved with integrity
Us – students, academics and business leaders working together to create a better world

The international organization Enactus, active in 33 countries, connects university students, academics and business leaders through projects proposed by students, based on sustainable entrepreneurship for social purposes and which focus on problems present in the communities in which the team members operate.

Every academic year the Enactus Unipd team is formed, applications open approximately in October. 

The Enactus Unipd team participates in the activities of the Enactus network and is engaged in the design and development of sustainable projects, of which it annually presents the results achieved at a national competition and, if the winner, participates in the international Enactus World Cup competition.

In fact, two projects won first place at the Enactus Italy National Competition 2026.
In the Early-Stage category, the MedScan project stood out and in the Advanced category the first prize was won by the Purifas project.
