Place-Based Impact Investing: A Global Movement for Local Change 🌍 At #ImpactWeek2024, hosted by Impact Europe, we explored the power of Place-Based Impact Investing (PBII) in a dynamic deep-dive session. Together with international thought leaders: ✅ Jennifer Van der Merwe – Kindred LCR ✅ Pieter-Jan Van de Velde – Trividend ✅ James Burrows – Better Society Capital ✅ Bart Meijs – City Deal Impact Ondernemen & Social Impact Fonds Rotterdam (SIF-Rotterdam) We brought together PBII practitioners from across Europe, each showcasing their innovative strategies to mobilize local stakeholders. Their mission? To address society's most pressing challenges and co-create sustainable, inclusive economies—tailored to the unique needs of their cities and communities. A shared thread in every approach: putting people at the center and breaking down traditional silos to collaborate effectively. The enthusiastic engagement from participants and the connections forged highlight that PBII is more than a methodology—it’s a global movement reshaping how we think about impact investing at the local level. Let’s keep building bridges across borders to drive meaningful, place-based change. #PBII #ImpactInvesting #SustainableEconomy #SocialImpact #GlobalMovement

One week to go before the Latin American Impact Investing Forum takes place! “Latin America and the Caribbeans are ongoing rapid digital transformation but 60% of population in the region lack access to quality digital infrastructure" says Kuutti Kilpeläinen who will be there. "For an impact investor this means tangible high impact opportunities to enhance innovation, inclusion, and competitiveness.” Read more about how we invest in digital infrastructure and solutions: https://lnkd.in/dmR4F3A #impactinvesting #finnfund4impact #latinamerica

A great report from Temasek and reminder of what it takes to be catalytic at institutional scale (noting that "catalytic capital" is recognized as a foundational enabler of Temasek's organizational strategy, known as T2030). The message: when impact investment (#impinv) opportunities are not immediately available, create them; when impact infrastructure is lacking, build it. To wit: Temasek launching ABC Impact; backing LeapFrog Investments; establishing GenZero; partnering with BlackRock on Decarbonisation Partners; founding Centre for Impact Investing and Practices (CIIP) (through Temasek Trust); and supporting The Global Impact Investing Network's Impact Lab. That's real market building. Kudos. https://lnkd.in/g6Y38fsD

It has been an honour to participate in #ImpactWeek2024, hosted by the European network Impact Europe—the largest event dedicated to impact investing within the European impact investing community. Together with #OnceFundation, #BolsaSocial and #ImpactBridge we have talked about how can impact investing help us to create a better world where everyone is included. Impact investing is proving to be a powerful tool for addressing global challenges, both from social inclusion to environmental sustainability. We discussed about the opportunities we highlight that impact investing offers for addressing global challenges, from social inclusion to environmental sustainability; About how from our organizations we address these two challenges. We also talked about how the collaboration between the public sector, the private sector and the social economy/social sector is key to quality investment within our ecosystem of partnerships.
