After a summer of severe droughts across Europe, the ongoing war in Ukraine and the looming cost of living and energy crises, Impact Investor’s event will serve as a platform for experts across the industry to discuss and debate the role of impact investment in providing solutions to the most pressing social and environmental challenges.

The conference will showcase presentations and panel discussions on key topics affecting impact investors – from addressing the energy crisis and net zero goals, to mobilising private capital to tackle Europe's growing social challenges, without losing sight of the needs of developing countries.
