InFiNe is proud to announce our participation as a session leader at the prestigious Building Bridges 2025 Summit, taking place from September 30 to October 2, 2025 in Geneva (Switzerland). As one of Europe’s leading sustainable finance conferences, Building Bridges brings together key stakeholders to advance the sustainable finance agenda through innovative solutions and collaborative dialogue.
On Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, from 14:30-15:30, InFiNe will lead a dedicated session titled “Risk Mitigation Mechanisms in Inclusive Finance: the Luxembourg Experiences” on the Solutions Stage, at the heart of the Building Bridges village, where ideas meet action.
“This session represents an excellent opportunity to showcase Luxembourg’s distinctive expertise in inclusive finance and the innovative approaches our network has developed to address investment risks. By sharing our members’ experiences and lessons learned, we aim to promote Luxembourg’s unique ecosystem on the international stage, while supporting increased commitments to inclusive finance through practical risk management solutions,”
explains Philippe Guichandut, InFiNe’s Interim Director who will be leading the session.
Building on the momentum of our De-Risking Working Group initiatives launched in 2025, this session will provide practitioners and investors with concrete insights into how Luxembourg actors are successfully leveraging various de-risking mechanisms to scale their investments and attract new capital for inclusive finance activities.
Session attendees will gain in-depth understanding of practical risk mitigation approaches, including:
The discussion will go beyond theory, offering honest assessments of both the benefits and limitations of these mechanisms. Participants will leave with practical insights directly from practitioners who have successfully navigated risk mitigation in the inclusive finance sector.
