Impact Investing & Innovative Finance: Reflections & Predictions for 2023
Join LSE Marshall Institute’s Stephan Chambers for an end of year wrap of the impact investing and innovative finance field, with LSE Visiting Fellow Aunnie Patton Power.

What can we expect in impact investing over the next 12 months: is the VC slowdown really evidence that the "market" is not always right and we need to continue to develop our own ways of thinking (and doing) impact finance? Will we see ripples – or waves - from the crypto implosion? What innovations are shaping the field?
