In a world facing growing global challenges, what is the purpose of capital in driving social change? As a Digital Content Partner at the 2019 Social Finance Forum, we gained expert insights from over 600 leading investors, entrepreneurs, and financial professionals.

What actions can companies, governments, and individuals investors take to ensure they’re creating positive impact – and even transforming entire systems?

In November 2019, we partnered with MaRS to be on-site at the Social Finance Forum – Canada’s leading event for impact investing and finance. Over two days, we heard leading experts answer critical questions and debate the purpose of capital – from how exactly how governments can leverage private capital for public purposes, how to scale investments – and whether our own dollars are making a difference.
