Conference focus

Real-world impact: Mobilising private and institutional capital to drive change 
 

Building on the success of our first event in Amsterdam, the 2023 edition of the Impact Investor Conference will take place in The Hague on 7 December. 

As impact investing moves mainstream, we will focus on two key group of asset owners driving demand and innovation in impact investing: family offices and institutional investors.

The event will serve as a platform for experts across the industry to discuss the real-world impact of impact investing strategies, across asset classes and regions. It will showcase presentations and panel discussions on key topics including the important role played by family offices, private wealth owners and their advisors in the adoption of impact-driven strategies, and how pension funds and other institutional investors are moving beyond ESG considerations to include investments where positive and measurable social and environmental impact can go hand-in-hand with financial returns.

The wide range of topics at debate will include the latest developments regarding impact measurement and management, energy transition and net-zero strategies, nature-based solutions, SDG-focused investing in developing countries and blended finance, as well as impact in listed equities, and more.
