Impact investing – Cure or Convenient Myth?
Organiser: Nextier
Overview: Impact investing is increasingly seen as a way to mobilise private capital toward public challenges. At the same time, the expansion of the field has raised more fundamental questions about what impact investing actually delivers. What counts as impact, and who gets to define it? As more capital enters the space, the lines between impact investing, ESG, and philanthropy have become blurred, and claims of impact are not always matched by consistent measurement or accountability. This raises a deeper concern: is impact investing driving meaningful change, or is it becoming a language that allows capital to signal intent without being held to outcomes?
