In a few months the KLOE-2 detector is expected to start data taking at the upgraded DA$rm{Phi}$NE $phi$-factory of INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. It aims to collect 25 fb$^{-1}$ at the $phi(1020)$ peak, and about 5 fb$^{-1}$ in the energy re
gion between 1 and 2.5 GeV. We review the status and physics program of the project
