TORINO GLOBAL SKILLS SUMMIT 2026:

Skills for People | Skills for Business | Skills for Society

The Torino Global Skills Summit 2026 will bring together policymakers, experts, employers, education and training providers, and young people from the EU and ETF partner regions to explore how skills can drive competitiveness, inclusion and resilience.

Taking place at the OGR Torino on 23-25 November, the Summit will contribute to the wider European debate on the future of skills, including the EU’s Union of Skills and its focus on high-quality education and training, lifelong learning, labour-market relevance, skills portability, and opportunities for people to upskill and reskill throughout their lives.

Over three days, participants will take part in high-level dialogue, practical exchanges and showcases of innovative approaches that are helping skills systems respond to economic, social, green and digital transitions.

The programme will include an opening plenary, thematic tracks on People, Business and Society, and the #MadeWithSkills Marketplace, highlighting skills-driven products, services and initiatives from around the world.

Turin will also serve as a Living Lab, showing how cities, local ecosystems and partnerships can accelerate skills development, innovation and inclusion.

A series of Teaser Events throughout 2026 will build momentum ahead of the Summit, supported by the #MySkillsOurImpact campaign, which will collect personal skills stories from across ETF partner countries and beyond.
