Unlocking growth – what are the keys to impact investment for women

Women entrepreneurs receive only a shocking 2% of impact investment funding despite statistics proving again and again the increased sustainability and longevity of women-led enterprise . We ask ‘What are the systemic barriers that support this and how do we dismantle them?’

Among our panellists are Ajaita Shah, who heads up Frontier Markets and is responsible for a breakthrough in successful and sustainable employment of thousands of women in rural India; Professor Nicola Banks, joint Chief Steward of One World Together, a global movement for trust-based giving that distributes unconditional micro-grants for change and not charity. The discussion will be moderated by Amanda Campbell, a social-impact storyteller and award-winning documentary producer.
