On Monday March 3 Glasgow will host the Investing with Impact: A Catalyst for Change conference at Glasgow's Radisson Blu Hotel.
Run by the Scottish National Investment Bank and taking place between 10.30am and 4.15pm, the event will focus on impact investing – what it means in reality, why it matters, and sources of capital.
It will also highlight the transformative role of mission-led investment in driving sustainable economic growth, innovation, and community development across Scotland.
Since its launch in 2020, the Scottish National Investment Bank has committed £662 million, unlocking over £1.4 billion in additional funding to drive impactful change.
Hosted by journalist and presenter, Zara Janjua, the event will include delegates from across the business spectrum, from investors to entrepreneurs, tech, property, construction, green industries, finance, legal and public sector in Scotland.
