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, bringing together academics, policymakers, and practitioners to co-design solutions and shape systems.
