Unlocking the power of Catalytic capital for impactful and innovative organisations in developing countries

InFiNe is pleased to announce our upcoming Knowledge Sharing Event featuring member organization Financing Innovation Tool (FIT SIS).

The Financing Innovation Tool (FIT) deploys patient, flexible and tailored capital to innovative organisations in developing countries that are often excluded from traditional financing. By accepting higher risks and lower returns than conventional funders, FIT provides more than just funding—it acts as a catalyst for innovation, sustainability and long-term positive impact. This approach strengthens business models and lays the groundwork for attracting additional investment from impact investors. Since 2023, FIT has supported 8 organisations across Africa and Latin America in green energy, financial inclusion, and education.

Speakers

Axel de Ville, Chairman of FIT and Director of Strategy and Innovation at ADA, has in-depth knowledge of development issues in Africa, Latin America and Asia and worked for the United Nations in Africa for several years.

Cristelle Nguemouhe, Coordinator of FIT, brings over 20 years of cross-sector experience in inclusive finance and strategic operations across Africa, Asia, and Europe, combining entrepreneurial agility with institutional discipline.

This event is exclusively for InFiNe members and their colleagues.
