GammaDonna is a non-profit organization that, for over 20 years, has been promoting entrepreneurial talent as a driver of socio-economic development. Its mission is to reduce the gender gap, foster inclusive innovation, and accelerate the creation of regenerative and circular business ecosystems. Founded in 2004, GammaDonna enhances the entrepreneurial potential of women and young people, supporting their ability to innovate, lead change, and generate positive impact despite structural challenges.
