🌍 Mobilising private capital is crucial to bridging the annual USD 4 trillion funding gap for the UN SDGs, and blended finance is a key structure supporting this process. This month, we interviewed Guillaume Bonnel, CEO of the SDG Impact Finance Initiative (SIFI) and member of the LSFI Impact Investment Advisory Board. He shared insights on the reasons behind these funding gaps and best practices for mobilising private capital. Guillaume will also be joining the LSFI Summit on September 18th & 19th, where he will present during the Private Investment Mobilisation masterclass (more information here: https://lnkd.in/gM2HpMJQ). 💡 To read the full interview, please visit https://lnkd.in/eFT8AS-S 🗞️ Our newsletter is also out today!

It was a pleasure taking part in the first edition of Nexus 2050. This in-person symposium brought together experts from the Luxembourg and international financial industry, fintech, and sustainability, among many others, to discuss the role of innovations & technology and the latest trends in this space. On this occasion, we had the pleasure of participating in two panel discussions: 💡 Nicoletta Centofanti, LSFI CEO, moderated the panel “Sustainable finance 4.0: How Regulation and Fintech Can Support the Sector and Drive Change”. She discussed with Anne Calteux, Julien Froumouth, and Tiago Freire de Andrade how the shift towards sustainable finance and new regulatory requirements present unique opportunities for the future of #fintech (and our planet). 🔎 Lorenzo Avico, LSFI Deputy CEO, participated in the panel “The Future of Sustainable Finance through DLT Innovation”. He exchanged views with Emilie Allaert, David DUROUCHOUX, Julie Millot and Yves Elomo Onana on the importance of using automation to improve operations and taking a vertical approach to avoid silos in sustainable finance. Hats off to the organisers for these two days filled with thought-provoking insights. We are looking forward to next year’s edition!
