GIIN Impact Forum 2024

‘With attendees hailing from 70 countries, the GIIN Impact Forum is a major source of energy, inspiration and connectivity for the impact investing industry. Whether you’re new to this work or a seasoned pro, the forum is the place to be for the latest and greatest tools and ways of thinking on how we move capital to the most pressing issues facing society today. And the abundant #networking coupled with interactive and thought-provoking programming actually helps people become better impact investors when they leave.’

GIIN Impact Forum 2024 will take place on October 23-24 at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre.

‘The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) is the global champion of impact investing, dedicated to increasing the scale and effectiveness of impact investing around the world.

Impact investments are investments made with the intention to generate measurable, positive social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. They can be made in both emerging and developed markets and target a range of returns from below market to market rate, depending on investors’ specific objectives.

The GIIN builds critical infrastructure and supports activities, education, and research that help accelerate the development of a coherent impact investing industry.’

Social Innovation Academy is the first fully online management training programme focusing exclusively on social innovation.

Why Social Innovation Academy? Social innovation has increasingly come to be perceived as the answer to the rising number of European societal challenges. While the European authorities, leading academics, policy experts, business people and activists agree that social innovation is the key to a better future for Europe and the world, it is extremely difficult for professionals to obtain high-quality training on what social innovation actually offers and, more importantly, how it can be done in practice.

The Social Innovation Academy is aiming to change this situation in Europe and beyond. If you are interested in keeping up with this project, you can subscribe to our newsletter, become one of our friends or follow us on social media (LinkedInTwitter and Facebook). We welcome all requests for collaboration here.
