A successful investing ecosystem will extend beyond Social Enterprises and Impact Investors.
Government ministries, research providers, rating agencies, brokers, sponsors (“SNOMADs” or Social Nominated Advisors), bankers and multinational organizations are just a few of the other key entities with which IIX will work. All of these will complement – and learn from – each other in both the local and international context.
Hands-on involvement by members of the ecosystem will help companies become market-ready.
This will increase organizational and operational efficiency among Social Enterprises, and will improve their effectiveness in producing social/environmental and financial returns.
