Sustainable Investing: Myth or Reality?

In an era where environmental and social concerns are at the forefront, the concept of sustainable investing has emerged as a powerful tool for fostering positive change across all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

But is it truly feasible, or just a utopian ideal? Our distinguished panel of purpose-driven entrepreneurs will delve into this question, highlighting their experiences of building and scaling businesses through impact investment while aligning with SDGs, exploring the realities, challenges, and opportunities.

This event is tailored for aspiring entrepreneurs, startup founders, sustainable investors, academics, and students who are seeking to catalyse positive change through their entrepreneurial journey, as well as impact investors across diverse sectors who would like to understand the current entrepreneurial landscape.
