The Impact Economy

The impact economy is a rapidly evolving field where private capital, enterprise, and philanthropy are intentionally directed toward solving social and environmental challenges. The Impact Economy Project, based at the Marshall Institute at the London School of Economics, is LSE’s response to this growing movement. Led by Kieron Boyle, CEO of 100x Impact and LSE’s first Professor in Practice for the Impact Economy, the project serves as a platform for research, dialogue, and action—bringing together academics, policymakers, and practitioners to co-design solutions and shape systems. Through initiatives like the Impact Economy Dialogues, Policy Labs, and global research on capital and systemic change, the project is building a focal point for LSE’s engagement in this critical area of public value.
