Hi, I'm Paolo Marioni, a passionate social entrepreneur and co-director of Expedition Future.
With a background in digital strategy and social innovation, I am dedicated to developing initiatives that address societal challenges. I believe that the best way to solve pressing problems is to bring people to work together in harmony and respect to implement the solutions we need.
Driving Innovation for Social Change ✨
Throughout my career, I have been active in a variety of roles and sectors, with an increasing focus on the use of innovation for social good.

I currently work at Expedition Future, a political startup that bridges the gap between politics and innovation 🤟.
As a co-founder, I've led the development of our flagship format, the Policy Sprint, which brings together politicians and policymakers to tackle critical societal issues and take concrete action together. You can discover the format in our newly published book 📕.
Our work has been recognized with the European Innovation in Politics Award 2023 🏆.

In the past I co-founded ZüriChips, a social startup that aimed to reduce food waste by turning unsold bread into delicious chips 🥖. In addition to producing yummy food, we wanted to spread awareness about food waste and promote sustainable practices.
-
Along with other passionate social innovators, I co-authored the better Playbook for Social Innovation 🛠️. It serves as a guide for social entrepreneurs to create impactful solutions through practical tools and strategies for social innovation.
"At Expedition Future, we basically do translation work. We take collaborative methods and processes that have already proven themselves elsewhere and adapt them to specific needs of the Swiss political system.”
