Innovative Finance as a Force for Global Change.

As it becomes clear that governments and philanthropists will be unable to provide the funds needed to meet sustainable development goals, many are looking to a new source of funding: Global capital markets. Meanwhile, individual investors, funds and financial institutions are increasingly keen to contribute to solving problems such as poverty and climate change while also generating a financial return. As this new market expands, innovative finance products and tools are emerging to meet the growing appetite to make investments with impact.

With an invitation-only audience of leading investors, asset managers, foundations, family offices and social entrepreneurs, FT Investing for Good Europe 2018 will bring together experts and practitioners to discuss how innovative finance could transform the global development landscape. Speakers will highlight some of the latest opportunities for investors and explore what regulatory frameworks, measurement tools and other market mechanisms will be needed to help unleash this powerful source of finance.
