Building Impact Finance Communities

Using Impact Finance Belgium as the main reference point, this session explores how to build a stronger and more connected impact finance ecosystem across the full capital spectrum, from angels and philanthropy to pension funds and insurers. Complemented by perspectives from Toniic, invest.austria, and the African Business Angel Network, the conversation looks at how shared data, trusted networks, and coordinated action can help strengthen the field.

The discussion focuses on practical lessons: what works, what can be adapted across different national and regional contexts, and how to move from fragmented efforts toward a more aligned, visible, and effective impact finance community.
