SKINNOVATION - THE INNOVATION & STARTUP FESTIVAL ON SKIS
SKInnovation comes to Italy for the second time in Madonna di Campiglio: an exclusive event blending skiing, innovation, and networking among leaders, startups, and companies. A unique opportunity to build connections and develop new ideas in an exceptional alpine setting.
From December 9 to 11, 2026, the second edition of an exclusive event arrives, bringing together startups, companies, and snow in one of the most iconic locations in the Alps.
For the second time in Italy, SKInnovation—the international event that blends the worlds of startups, innovation, and winter sports—has chosen Madonna di Campiglio for its 2026 edition. After more than ten years of success in the Austrian Alps, the format expands and makes its way to the Brenta Dolomites, bringing with it its pioneering spirit and vibrant community.
Entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, corporate leaders, and emerging tech enthusiasts will come together for three days of exchange, networking, and unconventional dialogue. SKInnovation Italy will be much more than a traditional conference: it will be an immersive experience where ski slopes meet inspirational talks, hands-on workshops, informal moments, and real business opportunities.
The event aims to be a fertile ground for new collaborations, the birth of revolutionary ideas, and the connection of diverse sectors – all within a dynamic and inspiring alpine setting, surrounded by cozy mountain lodges, fresh snow, and breathtaking views.
SKInnovation comes to life in Italy, in the heart of the Dolomiti di Brenta Ski Area — one of the most spectacular ski destinations in the Alps, featuring 150 km of interconnected slopes accessible on skis. On one side rise the majestic Dolomiti di Brenta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; on the other, the Adamello Glacier dominates the horizon — a truly extraordinary setting where natural beauty meets the spirit of innovation.
The highlights of the event — from inspiring talks to networking sessions — will take place in exceptional venues that combine functionality with atmosphere.
With a format focused on the quality of the experience and a carefully selected group of participants, SKInnovation is set to become a new benchmark for open innovation in Europe.
