As environmental and social contributions from companies reshape global economic priorities, the role of finance is undergoing a profound transformation. Beyond financial performance, it is now a matter of addressing societal expectations in building-up tomorrow’s economy. In this evolving landscape, Private Equity and banks are emerging as leading players to drive positive impact investments.

It is in this context that ​LPEA and Société Générale invite you to join their conference on “Finance, Entrepreneurship and Impact”.

The conference aims to address the following questions:

1. How are private investors integrating these new imperatives into their strategies? 
2. What role can banks play in fostering a more responsible financial system? 
3. And, most importantly, how can entrepreneurship, impact, and profitability coexist and mutually reinforce each other?

Through compelling keynotes and an expert panel, attendees will gain valuable insights and real-world perspectives on the transformation of investment models. It is an opportunity to explore the forces at play and draw inspiration from the trailblazers of responsible finance.
