Evenement http://www.lrtm.lu Introduction à la Venture Philanthropy http://www.lrtm.lu/Extranet/Agenda/Introduction-a-la-Venture-Philanthropy L’objectif des « venture philanthropists » est d’apporter un savoir-faire et des compétences issues du monde de l’entreprise et de la finance au monde associatif. Beate Trück vous fera découvrir comment leur investissement se concrétise par un véritable impact sur le terrain grâce notamment à un engagement allant au-delà du simple soutien financier ou par l’emploi de techniques de financements allant du simple don à des véhicules d’investissement de plus en plus sophistiqués, offrant ou non un retour financier.

La conférence vous permettra de découvrir comment différents véhicules tels que la microfinance, le venture capital dans les entreprises sociales, les prêts et les garanties, utilisés seuls ou en combinaison, permettent d’avoir un impact réel et mesurable. L’impact financing profite ainsi à de vrais projets sur le terrain, s’attaque aux causes d’un mal, rend autonome les bénéficiaires et aboutit souvent à des modèles transposables à grande échelle.

In today’s market, the trends, regulations, developments and investment strategies are all impacted by the state of the economy. Fortunately, the economy is recovering and microfinance is slowly on the rise. However, this revival raises its very own set of significant challenges:- How can the microfinance industry identify the window of opportunity to go back to sound practices?- What are the current barriers and the associate risks faced by investors?- How can social businesses support the growth of developing countries in today’s still shaky economy?- How do tier 2 MFIs compete in a marketplace where low risk is a prevalent factor for investments?

Or mesurer ces retombées, valoriser la globalité de la richesse créée est au coeur de la définition de cette nouvelle approche d’investissement et permet de communiquer la performance d’un investissement au-delà de son rendement financier. Uli Grabenwarter vous démontrera comment la mesure de l'impact social est devenue une clé pour accéder à de nouvelles sources de financement dans le domaine de l’investissement durable.
