About the convening
Join leading funders and investors from across Europe for a convening hosted by the Social Innovation Mission Facility with partners, Commons Hub Brussels and Strategic Design Scenarios – bringing together key actors to explore how private and public capital can be catalytically combined to drive mission-oriented social innovation at scale.
We will have a dynamic panel discussion featuring voices from across Europe, examining:
- The trends and emerging models of financing social innovation already shaping the field
- How to increase flow of capital into EU Mission-aligned social innovation
- How philanthropic, public, and private capital can be combined for greater impact
- The role of investors and funders in shaping Europe’s social innovation ecosystem
Our aim is to create a space for honest dialogue, peer-to-peer connection, and forward-looking exchange.
Expect an energising atmosphere, plenty of room for conversation, and the chance to hear perspectives from across the field. Whether you’re already supporting the EU Missions or are curious about the future of social innovation funding, this is a chance to connect and leave with new ideas to take forward.
