Madonna di Campiglio, Italy – SKInnovation ITALY is back for its second edition!

From December 9–11, 2026, SKInnovation ITALY returns to the breathtaking alpine setting of Madonna di Campiglio.

Following a successful debut, Europe’s leading startup and innovation gathering on skis once again brings together corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, startups, scale-ups and innovation enthusiasts for three days of inspiring conversations, meaningful networking, and unforgettable experiences on and off the slopes.

Live. Feel. Move. Experience. — Where the way we innovate meets the way we live.

This year, the conversation follows a clear editorial frame across four fields shaping society and human existence: from smart living and human-centred design in energy and construction, to biohacking and longevity, to sport and mobility, to the future of tourism and hospitality.

SKInnovation ITALY remains, by design, a gathering: capped at 250 participants, built around real human connection.

With its unique combination of business, innovation, and alpine adventure, SKInnovation ITALY continues to build a dynamic platform for cross-industry and cross-border collaboration, fresh partnerships, and ideas that truly shape the future.
