Event Overview
The 'Impact Investing 2027: The Year Ahead' conference will take place on November 18, 2026, at Impact Hub London Euston. This event aims to delve into the evolving landscape of impact investing, discussing the trends and opportunities that will shape the sector in the coming years.
Impact investing has transitioned from its philanthropic origins to a more robust model that emphasizes measurable benefits for society and the environment, alongside financial returns. The UK is positioning itself as a global leader in this field, with significant growth in its social impact investment market, which surpassed £11 billion in 2024. The wider impact economy, encompassing purpose-driven businesses and social investors, is now valued at approximately £428 billion, representing about 15% of the UK’s GDP.
The conference will feature a panel of experts, including Gosbert Chagula MBE, Ana Van Bilsen Irías, and Steffie Dawoud, who will discuss the challenges and opportunities within the impact investment space. Topics will include the integration of artificial intelligence in impact measurement, the interplay between different funding sources, and the implications of shifting government policies.
Following the panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session and network with peers and speakers, fostering connections that could lead to future collaborations in the impact investing arena. This event is a must-attend for anyone interested in the future of finance and sustainable investment strategies.
