EDB at the 9th Edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII9)
CAN PURPOSE-DRIVEN CAPITAL UNLOCK THE TRILLIONS NEEDED FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH?
Plenary Stage B | 2:25 PM - 2:55 PM | October 29th, 2025
Capital is undergoing a transformative shift, where financial returns alone are no longer sufficient to address the world's pressing challenges. With over $100 trillion in global assets under management and a $4 trillion annual financing gap for the SDGs, the role of purpose-driven capital has never been more critical. This session will explore how capital can be reimagined to drive prosperity and progress while ensuring every dollar invested creates meaningful, positive impact.
