In the stunning setting of the Corsie Sistine, the fourth edition of the B-Factor Award — organized by the Marisa Bellisario Foundation — took place.
We are proud to announce that Maria Silvia Pazzi, founder and CEO of Regenesi and Regenstech, was honored for her outstanding contribution to circular innovation in the fashion and design sectors.
During the event, ten finalist entrepreneurs presented innovative and ambitious projects, showcasing the talent and determination of women in business. The jury awarded Maria Silvia with the following motivation:
“Because roots matter, but only if one has the strength and determination to spread their wings and fly high and far. And because sustainability is not just about marketing and compliance — it is made of science, technology, industrial processes, and, above all, beauty and elegance.”
Maria Silvia Pazzi stated:
“This recognition celebrates our mission: to create a future where beauty and sustainability merge through innovative products, solutions, and technologies. The road is challenging, but our vision is clear — to transform the fashion and design industries with sustainable solutions that do not compromise aesthetics.”
Lella Golfo, President of the Marisa Bellisario Foundation, emphasized the importance of initiatives like the B-Factor in promoting female entrepreneurship and employment, highlighting their crucial role in driving GDP growth and advancing gender equality.
The success of Maria Silvia Pazzi represents not only a personal milestone but also a step forward for the entire sustainable fashion and design industry. This award is a tangible example of how innovation and creativity can lead the way toward more responsible and environmentally respectful practices.
