In this edition, the investor’s perspective will be represented by Maria Cavalcanti, executive director and co-founder of FIRST Brazil, Daniel Izzo, executive director and co-founder at Vox Capital; the accelerator’s perspective by Renato Kiyama, Director of Institutional Development at Artemisia Social Enterprises; and finally, the academic perspective will be covered by Angélica Rotondaro, managing director of the University of St.Gallen Hub for South America, as well as Estelle Tanner, master student from the University of St.Gallen (HSG) and research assistant for Impact Investing research platform for Biomass projects.

The interviews offer various insights into the different motivations behind Impact Investing in Brazil and follow the objective of spreading knowledge. Moreover, challenges and hurdles that have to be overcome in order to accelerate the further development of the Impact Investing Industry, are being addressed.
