Impact investing from North to South
summary
Discussion lays out concrete vehicles: an accelerator placing €150k ticket checks, a planned €120M catapult fund and an operational €40M fund in Portugal, plus a student-run venture vehicle from Finland. Shows how a 150M‑euro national Social Innovation program and EIF endorsement attract co‑investors, how a Nordic Impact Investing Network is built to match deals, and points to tools for measuring outcomes (Upright net‑impact work) rather than vague mission statements.
