Zurich 2024

April 22, 2024

Innovative finance and climate resilience, assets for a resilient future economy

Join us in Zurich to explore a diverse range of financial mechanisms aimed at supporting entrepreneurial solutions addressing some of the most pressing global challenges. From catalytic investments to philanthropic capital, impact-linked funding, revenue-based models, and crowdfunding, we will explore how capital can be effectively deployed towards impact enterprises in emerging economies.

With a focus on climate resilience as a strategy which serves a triple-purpose approach—combating climate change, alleviating poverty, and fostering a resilient economy—we will delve into how these mechanisms and strategies can bring together private, philanthropic, and public sectors to address pressing social and environmental challenges while enhancing resilience in emerging markets. Furthermore, impact entrepreneurs will share insights into how they are building and scaling models with the support of these innovative financial mechanisms.

elea and Social Nest Foundation are joining forces for the second time to provide a space for knowledge sharing, discussion and introduction to diverse economic actors to different innovative financial mechanisms and impact finance topics that are increasingly relevant. This event encourages thinking beyond the conventional and fosters connections among actors with different assets and expertise to pursue mutually beneficial collaborations while reflecting on entrepreneurial solutions that are being developed to tackle the most pressing social and environmental challenges.

Fi Gathering Zurich is an in person (it will not be live streamed), by invitation only event, and invitations are non-transferable. If you wish to attend this gathering and don’t have an invitation from our team or one of our partners, you can apply for a ticket (free of cost).
