The Borexino experiment has been running since May 2007 at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory, in Italy. Solar neutrinos are detected with a large unsegmented liquid scintillator detector with unprecedented radioactive purity. The main results obtained include the measurement of the 7 Be solar neutrino flux, the measurement of the 8 B neutrino flux with electron recoil energy threshold of 3.0 MeV and the first clear detection of geo-neutrinos (see Aldo Ianniʼs talk in these proceedings for further details). Borexino has recently completed a large calibration campaign, and better results on 7 Be solar neutrino measurement are expected soon. Short and medium term perspectives are summarized in the conclusions.
