Abstract: SNO+ is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment whose main physics goal is the search for the neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay of $^{130}$Te. With an initial loading of 0.5\% (by weight) of natural tellurium SNO+ is expected to reach a sensitivity on the $0\nu\beta\beta$ lifetime of the order of 10$^{26}$ years at 90\% C.L. in a 5-year run. Along with the $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay search, SNO+ has the capability to measure the low energy solar neutrinos, like pep and CNO neutrinos. It has also an extraordinary opportunity to do the first measurement of the supernova $\nu_x$ energy spectrum.
