In the beautiful setting of the Sistine Lanes in Rome, the fourth edition of the B-Factor award, organized by the Marisa Bellisario Foundation, was held. During the event, 10 female entrepreneur finalists, each with innovative and ambitious projects, competed against each other. We are pleased to announce that Maria Silvia Pazzi, founder and CEO of Regenesi and Regenstech, was among the winners of this prestigious competition. The B-Factor award is an important recognition of Maria Silvia’s commitment and vision in the field of circular innovation in fashion and design. 

Reasons for the award

The jury justified their choice with these words, “Because roots matter, but only if you have the strength and determination to spread your wings, and fly high and far. And because sustainability is not just marketing and compliance, but is made up of science, technology, industrial processes, and again and above all, beauty and elegance.”
These words sum up the approach of Maria Silvia Pazzi and Regenesi: a deep commitment to sustainability that goes beyond appearances, combining technological innovation, advanced industrial processes, and a constant focus on aesthetics.

The vision of Regenesi 

Maria Silvia Pazzi commented, “This award celebrates our mission: to create a future where beauty and sustainability come together through innovative products, solutions and technologies. The road is arduous, but our vision is clear: to transform the fashion and design industries with sustainable solutions that do not compromise aesthetics.” 

The importance of women’s entrepreneurship 

Lella Golfo, President of the Marisa Bellisario Foundation, stressed the importance of initiatives such as the B-Factor in promoting women’s employment and entrepreneurship, highlighting their crucial role in GDP growth. The Foundation continues its commitment to pursuing gender equality goals by providing opportunities and visibility to innovative projects led by women.

Looking to the future

Maria Silvia Pazzi’s success at B-Factor is not only a personal achievement, but a step forward for the entire sustainable fashion and design industry. It represents a concrete example of how innovation and creativity can drive change toward more responsible and environmentally friendly practices.
Maria Silvia concludes, “Thank you to everyone who believes in this journey. Together, we are redefining the meaning of beautiful and sustainable for future generations.”
This recognition reinforces our determination to continue innovating and seeking solutions that combine beauty, functionality, and respect for the environment. Congratulations to Maria Silvia Pazzi and all the B-Factor participants for their commitment to shaping a more sustainable and inclusive future.
