LEADING IMPACT INVESTING CONFERENCE FOR INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS!
The Summit will provide comfortable space to institutional asset owners to share best practices, network and raise important questions amongst their peers, and to learn practical instruments to increase their impact allocation, contributing to scaling their positive impact on people and the planet. The programme also provides the necessary content and tools to start investing with positive impact and returns.
We look forward to connecting leading institutional investors for a meaningful dialogue at the 11th edition of this flagship conference in the industry.
Rewriting the genetic code of investments: splicing impact into institutional DNA
Impact investing is evolving from an isolated strategy to a foundational element within institutional portfolios. We dive into the evolving needs of the Next-Gen and the global challenges they seek to address through investments, from climate change to social equity. Investors must understand that their choices today will shape the impact realised decades from now, and this session offers a forward-looking roadmap for aligning with the next generation's vision while maintaining financial rigor. Participants will examine how institutional investors can craft strategies that meet the ambitions of the Now-Gen, while ensuring that impact considerations are as fundamental as any financial metric.
Innovation for impact: harnessing technology to redefine investment strategies
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is here, and technologies like AI, renewable energy, nature-based solutions, and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) are becoming crucial in shaping investment decisions. This theme will explore how technological innovations can drive scalable solutions for both financial and impact returns. With a focus on the intersection of tech and sustainability, investors and fund managers will learn how to position themselves at the forefront of this evolution, ensuring they are not just reacting to change but actively leading it.
Shaping systemic change: the interplay of ethics, regulation, & reputation
In an era marked by global challenges such as climate change and inequity, institutional investors must build portfolios that embody resilience and reflect ethical values. This theme will cover how mental resilience and ethical due diligence are critical to navigating complex investment environments. Investors will also explore how to address regulatory fatigue, re-evaluate the meaning of reputational risks & greenwashing, and ensure that their investments are future proof. Experts will discuss how to balance regulatory requirements with investment efficiency, reducing the fear of regulatory fatigue or cancellation.
From intention to execution: the impact investment toolbox
Impact investing is not just about intention but also execution. This session will provide institutional investors with the tools and frameworks to move from theory to practice. Key topics include how to measure long-term impacts, balance financial returns with social objectives, and navigate the matrix of responsible, ESG, and impact investing. Participants will participate in practical workshops and masterclasses, and walk away with actionable insights to bridge the gap between setting impact goals and achieving them, ensuring that their strategies can deliver both financial performance and measurable positive outcomes over the long term.
