It is so pleasant to see that the attendance at the GIIN Forum continues to grow. It is particularly encouraging to see a growing presence from institutional investors. Clearly impact investing is becoming more mainstream every year.
The GIIN Forum is great at bringing together the impact investment community and always facilitates great discussions. Yesterday’s members talk on how to bridge the SDGs’ financing gap was particularly interesting. Should we scale up as much capital as possible towards impact investments? Should we focus on making the capital that has already been deployed more effective? Should we channel capital where it is most needed? I think the combination is to try to pursue all of these paths. I’m here to have more conversations like this, to collect ideas, learn how best practices have evolved and find our what our peers are thinking.
