Join a collaborative seminar with WIN WIN Award laureates, Dr. Alaa Murabit and Julieta Martinez, as well as leaders from academia, business and investment for a conversation about the opportunities and gaps in impact investment.

Impact investment is an investment philosophy in which capital is deployed with the explicit intention of generating measurable positive change — socially and environmentally — alongside financial returns. The field is growing rapidly, but the question of how to scale it meaningfully remains open.

This seminar brings together voices from across the investment landscape to explore what it takes to mobilise capital for lasting systemic change.

What role do business, venture capital and philanthropy play when proven solutions need to scale? What would it take to do more — and what are the real obstacles? Questions of measurability, risk-sharing and long-term commitment move to the centre as we shift our focus from individual initiatives to systemic transformation.

Joined by WIN WIN laureates Dr. Alaa Murabit and Julieta Martínez, leaders from academia, business and investment come together for a conversation about the opportunities and gaps in impact investment today.

Speakers
Dr. Alaa Murabit brings experience spanning large-scale philanthropic financing at the Gates Foundation to venture capital and impact-driven investment at 500 Global.

Julieta Martínez, founder of Tremendas, a Latin American platform that connects and mobilises young women to lead initiatives across climate, gender equality and education.

Anders Sandoff presents the current state of research on impact investment — what we know, and what we still need to understand.

Sofie Runius Cederberg represents the industrial reality of the transition, where multi-billion capital flows are converted into concrete impact at scale.

Åsa Knudsen Sterte brings a rare blend of regulatory and financial markets experience, from shaping EU sustainable finance policy to scaling financial solutions that align impact with risk, incentives and returns.

Moderator
