The GEFF in Armenia helped organise Greenpact B.V.’s recent “Sustainable Finance Forum”, which took place in Yerevan on 22/23 May 2019. The event, which was aimed at local and international impact investors, commercial banks, microfinance institutions, crowdfunding platforms, project developers and other organisations that are working to advance sustainable development of the region, offered a chance for participants to meet potential clients (investors/investees) as well as to learn about sustainable finance infrastructure, opportunities and challenges in the region.
Through a series of presentations, panel discussions and facilitated working sessions, the more than 150 participants developed a shared understanding of innovative financing and business models that take environmental and social impact into consideration. “This is a step toward catalysing resources for sustainable infrastructure development in the region, through innovative financing and business models incorporating environmental and social impact,” said Andro Butkhuzi, Deputy Project Manager of the GEFF in Armenia.
Due to the highly positive response from stakeholders and other participants, further similar events are planned for the future.
