The Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund (LMDF) will be once again holding its Impact Ecosystem Event on 1 October 2019 at the Tramsschapp (49 Rue Ermesinde,1469 Luxembourg).

Building on the successful events celebrating Luxembourg’s Impact Ecosystem during the two last years, the LMDF, in partnership with the Ville de Luxembourg (VdL) and the impact investing players and supporters across the Grand Duchy, will once again turn the spotlight on where business/finance converge with social/environmental impact.

The triple bottom line of People, Planet, Profit is driving new dimensions of value creation. There is a growing movement of impact finance and social business in Luxembourg, driving both financial and non- financial returns – benefitting investors, customers, employees and greater society. This event will thus celebrate the people and projects that are opening up an entire new field of positive impact through financial instruments and business models.
