Sustainable Finance Strategies in Venture Capital
21. Juni 2021 | 16:25 – 17:25 Uhr
10. Dialogveranstaltung im Rahmen der ISPIM 2021
With the adoption of the first Sustainable Finance Strategy this year, the German government has set a clear signal for channeling investments into sustainable projects. Setting a new course for climate action and sustainability, the sustainable finance strategy also holds far-reaching implications for financing start-ups that contribute to a green transformation with their sustainable products, technologies and services.
Together with experts from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and the VC fund investor KfW Capital, we will discuss the opportunities of the new German Sustainable Finance Strategy for venture capital financing of start-ups and investigate the future of ESG and impact assessment for venture funds.
