Netherlands Advisory Board on Impact Investing

🌱 Welcome to the 2024 edition of our NAB Community Guide! 🌱 As NAB we often get contacted by investors, entrepreneurs and all sorts of stakeholders with requests for information about our community. “Who is investing in energy transition in the Netherlands? Who can support women entrepreneurs in India? Who can I connect with if I want to talk about SDG 6?” We always do our best to answer and orientate the questions to the right members, but with our growing community, we don’t want to be missing out on anyone! As a solution, we have compiled an inventory of the NAB community members and partners. Think about this as a ‘Yellow Pages' or a 'Who's who' of impact investing in the Dutch ecosystem! Our community has grown this year with 7 new members, of which 3 are  institutional investors. We have seen an expansion of the most frequently targeted SDGs with the addition of SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production in relation to the circular economy sector. This is a public document, freely available on our website and socials, in line with our goal to structure curated information  and make it easily accessible to the market. We update its contents regularly, so do not hesitate to share feedback!

✨ Our third edition of the Young NABs co-hosted with Invest International was a fantastic success! Blended finance is an innovative approach to overcoming the challenges present in sustainable and impact investing. It is also often cited as a solution to mobilise more (risk-averse) private capital for impact. Tim van der Wel van der Wal and Tanja Schmid from Invest International presented case studies and their innovative approaches to blended finance to a group of young impact leaders. The presentations and Q&A ignited meaningful conversations and reinforced the power of collaboration in reaching sustainable goals. 🎯 A big thanks to the audience and our gracious host Invest International. Stay tuned for more Young NABs events as we keep growing this community and driving positive change together! 💡🤝 #YoungNABs #ImpactInvesting #BlendedFinance #FutureLeaders #Networking
