Exclusive Brands Torino has collaborated for the third consecutive year with the Politecnico of Turin on the Open Systems course.

SpinTO — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 08:48:34 +0000

What happens when systemic design meets local businesses? Visions emerge that combine tradition, innovation and responsibility.

This is demonstrated by the collaboration between the Politecnico of Turin and Exclusive Brands Torino, which, now in its third consecutive year, has led to the development of concrete project proposals aimed at enhancing synergies between businesses, recovering waste and transforming the food and wine heritage into a shared culture.

The initiative, which aimed to design an open system capable of outlining a new model of sustainable development, offered students the opportunity to gain greater awareness of their role as designers, providing them with tools to interpret contemporary complexity and actively contribute to change.

Through the analysis of material, energy and information flows within local production realities, systemic design promotes the construction of systems in which the outputs of one process become inputs for others, with the aim of reducing environmental impact and generating value through connections between local stakeholders.

During the Open Systems module at the Politecnico of Turin, the involvement of 22 companies belonging to the Exclusive Brands Torino network enabled 198 students to develop concrete systemic projects, strengthen dialogue with the business world and experiment with solutions geared towards sustainable and lasting change.

Campus Grapes inaugurated: sustainable viticulture comes to life at the Politecnico of Turin. Exclusive Brands Torino is among the sponsors.

SpinTO — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 09:13:17 +0000

The world’s first hi-tech urban vineyard has been created at the Politecnico of Turin by Citiculture: 700 potted vines, advanced technologies and an ecosystem of innovation for ecological and digital transition.

In the heart of the Politecnico of Turin, an area of 1,000 square metres is home to around 700 potted vines, transforming the university space into an open-air laboratory for sustainability, science and socialising.

This is Campus Grapes, the world’s first hi-tech urban vineyard. Conceived by the Turin-based start-up Citiculture, the project is the result of synergy between public bodies, universities and local companies. Inaugurating this pioneering project, together with the Politecnico and the University of Turin, were: the President of the Piedmont Region, Alberto Cirio, the Councillor for Trade and Markets of the City of Turin, Paolo Chiavarino, Marco Gay, President of the Turin Industrial Union and Executive President of Zest S.p.A, Marco Lavazza, Vice President with responsibility for Sustainability at the Turin Industrial Union and Vice President of the Lavazza Group, and Luca Balbiano, CEO and founder of Citiculture.

The campus will host laboratories, exhibition spaces, co-working areas and training courses dedicated to ecological and digital transition. The Scientific Committee chaired by the Politecnico of Turin, composed of representatives from the Polytechnic, the University of Turin, Citiculture and a representative from the supporting companies, will guarantee the scientific quality and impact of the project. The Committee coordinates research activities, evaluating and directing proposals from teachers, researchers and students, with an interdisciplinary and results-oriented approach.

Campus Grapes is part of the Politecnico of Turin’s “Nature Based Solutions” plan, which aims to test concrete solutions for climate adaptation. It will therefore be a hub for advanced training in Agritech, linked to the master’s degree in “Agritech Engineering”, the university’s flagship programme.

During the inauguration, the project’s agronomic innovations were presented, including the use of potted vines for optimal control of growing conditions, clonal and varietal diversification to increase resilience, and the use of experimental cultivation systems to assess adaptability in an urban context.

As well as the main technologies already installed, starting with wearable sensors for monitoring plant health, useful for automatic irrigation control, biochar-based compounds to promote vine growth, and an environmental monitoring system to assess air quality, with particular attention to CO2 content. Added to these are the various areas set up by the supporting partners.

Campus Grapes comes to life thanks to the success of the first phase of crowdfunding, which ended with the achievement of over €100,000, the result of the generous participation of 13 companies/sponsors from the Turin area – Lavazza Group, Exclusive Brands Torino, Reale Foundation, Engas, Enoteca Regionale dei Vini della Provincia di Torino, Eventum/Grapes in Town, Luca& Violina, EdilCompany, I Magredi, Neh Experience, SellaLab, Zenit, Fondazione Zoom and Zoom – as well as numerous corporate and private supporters. A strong sign of trust and participation.

The second phase of fundraising will begin shortly, with the aim of raising additional resources that will be used to complete and enrich the space with benches, lighting, interactive signage and other infrastructure for public use, making it increasingly welcoming and functional. Campus Grapes has also officially joined the U.V.A (Urban Vineyards Association), the International Association of Urban Vineyards.

Exclusive Brands Torino inaugurates Nuovi Sguardi: a unique photographic exhibition combining art and business.

SpinTO — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 08:34:22 +0000

From 20 March to 20 May 2025, Turin’s Galleria Subalpina will host Nuovi Sguardi, a photographic exhibition showcasing the excellence of Piedmontese businesses through the lens of students from Turin’s European Institute of Design.
Exclusive Brands Torino, the first network of Piedmontese companies founded in 2011 to represent and promote a consolidated, expanded and contemporary concept of excellence, presents the photographic, narrative and authorial exhibition Nuovi Sguardi, created with the contribution of gold partner Banco Azzoaglio and in collaboration with the European Institute of Design in Turin.
Born from the encounter between the network of Piedmontese companies, supported by gold partner Banco Azzoaglio and official suppliers AON, CIDIMU, Grand Hotel Sitea, GS Events and YEG!, and IED Turin, with the aim of uniting the world of entrepreneurship with that of art and design, the exhibition represents an intergenerational and multifocal journey that – as its name suggests – looks confidently to the future.
The photographs and creative concepts featured in the visual narrative highlight the values that distinguish the Piedmontese network and the companies that are part of it. In particular, the works reflect the mission of Exclusive Brands Torino: to protect and enhance a cultural and productive heritage that has its roots in tradition, but which at the same time is open to new challenges and opportunities, aiming for an innovative and sustainable future.
Inclusiveness, sustainability, innovation, tradition and territory: these are the five keywords that characterise the exhibition, as well as the philosophy of the thirty companies featured in the photographs.
The result of an intense experience lived by a group of Photography and Design students from the Communication Design who explored and documented the Network’s factories up close, the exhibition represents a real moment of reflection: each shot, each image on display is not only a visual representation of the product, but the story of a place, a sound, a smell, a texture, a piece of history, a detail that encapsulates the soul of a company.
The hands at work, the faces of the artisans, the people who bring the production spaces to life every day, the atmosphere of the work environments and the everyday life that lies behind production: these are the aspects captured by the students, which reveal not only the quality of the products, but also the value of human relationships. Ultimately, the true essence of both entrepreneurial and artistic excellence.
The exhibition, which will be open to the public at the Galleria Subalpina in Turin from 20 March to 20 May 2025 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (including Saturdays and Sundays), is therefore an unmissable opportunity to discover the world of Exclusive Brands Torino and the perspective of the young and curious talents of IED Torino.

After 20 May, the exhibition – designed to be easily transportable – will become itinerant. In this way, if the excellence of the Piedmont region becomes known beyond regional borders, the principles and aims of the collaboration can be disseminated on a national scale, reaching an ever wider audience and continuing to promote the encounter between tradition, innovation and creativity.
“Nuovi Sguardi is a project that Exclusive Brands Torino is particularly fond of. Through the universal and inclusive language of photography, the students of IED Torino have managed to involve all thirty companies in the network, each with their own unique characteristics,” says Giulio Trombetta, President and CEO of Costadoro and President of Exclusive Brands Torino. “The exhibition, a unique opportunity to bring together the industrial realities of our territory with the world of education and research, is a visual journey that recounts our daily commitment to keeping Piedmontese excellence alive, while promoting the innovation and talent of the new generations.”
“Dialogue with the business world has always been in IED’s DNA, and this exhibition is concrete proof of that,” says Director Paola Zini. “Offering our students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the productive reality of the territory and interpret its essence through the language of photography and the tools of communication means not only enhancing their talent, but also allowing them to acquire a broader vision of their professional future. We are proud to have contributed to this project, which reflects our commitment to training professionals capable of understanding and responding to the needs of the world of work with sensitivity and competence.”
“Turin has rediscovered vocational aspects that allow it to showcase its excellence internationally in all fields: art, architecture, culture, business and food and wine.
Events such as this are an example of how the typical aspects of our high-quality entrepreneurial tradition can be enhanced through a vision conveyed by a stimulating representation that generates pleasant sensations and interesting reflections,” says Paolo Chiavarino, Councillor for Trade and Markets of the City of Turin. “The temporary location of the exhibition, identified in the splendid and elegant Galleria Subalpina, a private space but open to the public free of charge, is an appreciable choice that goes in the direction of making available to everyone, tourists and citizens alike, a historical, architectural and cultural heritage that belongs to our city”.

The results of the second year of collaboration between the Politecnico of Turin and Exclusive Brands Torino were presented in the “Open Systems” module

SpinTO — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 14:33:00 +0000

Eight companies from the piedmontese Network of excellence collaborated with students from the Master’s Degree course in Systemic Design to identify new models of sustainable development

The second year of collaboration between the Politecnico of Turin and Exclusive Brands Torino, the Turin Industrial Union Network that brings together twenty-nine Piedmontese companies to represent and promote a consolidated, expanded and contemporary concept of excellence.

During the final exam of the course held in the Salone d’Onore of the Castello del Valentino, the students of the Master’s Degree course in Systemic Design “Aurelio Peccei” had the opportunity to illustrate the projects developed as part of the partnership with the Network, which this year saw the involvement of eight local companies.

The main objective of the Open Systems module is to design an open and autopoietic system, defining a new model of sustainable development. Through the study of the flows of matter, energy and information in local production realities, Systemic Design aims to design systems in which the outputs of production processes become inputs for other processes, minimising environmental impacts and promoting the creation of value through connections and relationships between local stakeholders.

Over the last two years, 17 companies in the network have built meaningful relationships with students on the Open Systems module, supporting the development of systemic projects focused on their own realities.

Diverse ricerche realizzate all’interno del modulo rappresentano il punto di partenza per progetti di tesi sviluppati in collaborazione con le aziende della rete. One of the first, born out of a partnership with Building and focused on the home system, between building and living, was discussed at the beginning of the year and will be followed by two other thesis projects launched in the 2022/23 academic year. In the coming weeks, the work developed with the companies Costadoro and Vanni will be presented, which aims to translate the principles of Systemic Design applied to the realities of the territory into pragmatic and ambitious projects.

COMPLETED PROJECTS: SOME EXAMPLES

The team of students who collaborated with Lauretana designed a product and communication strategy to make the company’s returnable bottle system even

more efficient. At the same time, the positioning of the Biella spring water was strengthened, highlighting its unique characteristics in new consumption contexts.

Another example of value creation is the initiative proposed by the Oscalito group, which aims to enhance the company’s fabric archive by creating small series in collaboration with young fashion designers, allowing the company to enter new market segments.

In the case of Eurofork, the project focused on strengthening relations with the local area, improving welfare initiatives and advancing training programmes, key actions for the growth of a company that already excels in terms of production.

“We are grateful for our collaboration with Exclusive Brands Torino. For our students, this partnership has been an extraordinary opportunity that has allowed them to put our design approach into practice in real-world contexts, growing both professionally and personally. Systemic Design has long been established internationally, and collaborations such as this allow us to further root it in the regional and national context, making it a key player in the development of our territory.”

Silvia Barbero, Associate Professor and Vice-Rector for Communication and Promotion at the Politecnico of Turin, co-founder and director of Sys – Systemic Design Lab, coordinator of the Systemic Design course and the Open Systems module.

“Today marks the end of the second chapter of collaboration with the Politecnico, in a true synergy between local centres of excellence. On the one hand, there are the students of the Open Systems module, who aim to outline sustainable development models within a university centre of unquestionable value in the national academic landscape and beyond; on the other, the companies of the Exclusive Brands Torino Network, promoters of a concept of excellence that focuses on supporting new generations and their ideas, which are often capable of generating the change that companies themselves need in today’s complex scenario, where it is essential to respond to the challenges of the future today.”

Giulio Trombetta, CEO of Costadoro and Chairman of Exclusive Brands Torino.

“Creating value in the local area and reducing the environmental impact of our actions are two key points of reference in our journey as a network of companies, already included in our Ethical Charter, which has identified a common goal for all of us at Exclusive Brands Torino. We are proud of the results achieved again this year and would like this collaboration to serve as a model for bringing the academic world and local businesses closer together.”

Alessandra Girardi, Vice President of Vanni and Vice President of Exclusive Brands Torino

Exclusive Brands Torino also plays a leading role in the charity world, committing itself to its local area: the Network is one of the funding bodies for the third edition of Master Mëstè, a project run by the Cecilia Gilardi Foundation, and one of the supporters of the extraordinary financial support provided by the Paideia Foundation. The funding will be disbursed over two years, for a total of ten thousand euros for each project.

Master Mëstè is a project launched by the Cecilia Gilardi Foundation with the aim of training a new generation of artisans throughout Italy, providing them with practical and effective experience in finding employment. Now in its third edition, the initiative offers nineteen scholarships for under-35s to support a course of study consisting of 70 hours of classroom training and a six-month paid internship, from the end of September 2024 to March 2025, at companies and workshops in Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta and Liguria. Throughout the programme, scholarship recipients will be supported by a tutor (occupational psychologist) who will also act as an external evaluator and will be responsible for monitoring their progress and suggesting solutions to any critical issues.

With regard to Fondazione Paideia, Exclusive Brands Torino has decided to support the extraordinary financial aid project, through which the Foundation, by managing a dedicated fund, supports families with children with disabilities who find themselves in situations of greater economic hardship. This is achieved through targeted support measures that reduce the costs directly borne by the family for therapies, sports and recreational activities, and educational needs. Each family receives tailored support: the average annual contribution is €1,000 per family. Exclusive Brands Torino’s contribution could therefore guarantee the necessary support for around ten families over two years.
