European Microfinance Week becomes Inclusive Finance 25 (IF25)

After nearly two decades as European Microfinance Week, e-MFP’s flagship annual event has unveiled its new name and identity: Inclusive Finance 25 (IF25).

A new name, a bold vision for the future of financial inclusion

e-MFP is proud to announce that its flagship annual event, long known as European Microfinance Week (EMW), has been renamed Inclusive Finance 25 (IF25). The rebrand marks the next chapter in the evolution of one of the world’s leading gatherings on financial inclusion, taking place this year in Luxembourg from 12–14 November 2025.

For nearly two decades, EMW has brought together leaders, innovators, and changemakers in microfinance and financial inclusion. Over time, its reach and impact have expanded far beyond microfinance, and far beyond Europe. The new name, IF25, reflects this broader vision: a truly global platform for dialogue, collaboration, and innovation in inclusive finance.

“For almost twenty years, European Microfinance Week has brought together leaders, innovators and changemakers in financial inclusion. But our conversations, partnerships and impact have grown far beyond microfinance and Europe. IF25 marks the next chapter – a name that reflects our inclusive global vision for the future.”

– Christoph Pausch, e-MFP Executive Secretary.

Same trusted community, stronger impact

While the name has changed, IF25 builds on the legacy of EMW. Participants can still expect the dynamic networking, cutting-edge insights, and unique energy that define the event – now with an even bolder outlook. The first edition of IF25 will broaden the conversation, amplify the impact of inclusive finance, and shape the future together.

A fresh identity for a global movement

  • Same trusted community
  • Bigger conversations
  • Stronger impact

It’s no longer just about microfinance. It’s about inclusive finance, for everyone, everywhere.

With IF25, e-MFP invites all stakeholders in the financial inclusion ecosystem to join in shaping a more inclusive future.
