Pact4Future 2026

Never as today have young and old shared the same historical moment, in families, at work and in institutions. Longevity is an extraordinary achievement, but it puts economic, political and social balances to the test. To prevent coexistence from turning into conflict, a new pact between generations is needed, based on fairness, participation and responsibility towards the future

From March 24 to 26, Bocconi and Corriere della Sera return with the third edition of Pact4Future in Milan. Three days – People, Purpose, Planet – to tackle the great divisions of our time without simplification: education and generations, innovation and business, climate and global health. A forum that brings together science, institutions, business and culture to transform complexity into shared responsibility

On March 26, Pact4Future closes with a day dedicated to Planet. Not a green appendix, but a structural issue: climate is not just about the environment, it is about the economy, cities, migration and health. From global data to urban policies to the measurement of natural capital, the question is straightforward: are we willing to rethink the very idea of growth?

The first day of Pact4Future, on March 24 at the Sala Buzzati of Corriere della Sera and the Aula Magna Bocconi, focuses on what holds everything else together: education and the pact between generations. From the fight against bias in schools to intergenerational justice, a discussion that intertwines research, business, rights and sport to say one simple thing: without people, there is no future

On March 25, Pact4Future goes at the heart of the economy. Between Sala Buzzati and Aula Magna Bocconi, there is only one keyword: purpose. Not as a declaration of intent, but as a criterion that stands up to the test of numbers, rules, and markets. From sustainability reporting to Italian unicorns, to the role of science and capital, the question is: innovate to go where?
