Impact Investing: Can We Reconcile Values and Value?

The conference will bring together leading scholars and practitioners and provide a space for critical reflection on the opportunities and challenges of impact investing. Featuring thematic academic presentations, panel discussions, and a public keynote lecture, it has been designed to foster dynamic and meaningful exchanges among the various stakeholders of the impact investing ecosystem.

Impact investing has emerged as one of the most promising responses, a bet that capital can do more than grow: it can also heal, build, and transform. With the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals facing a financing gap in the trillions and public resources alone unable to close it, private capital has never been more needed or more scrutinized. Turning that promise into practice raises hard questions that deserve serious attention as the tension between reaching financial returns and societal impact is quite intricate though omnipresent.
