The Thematic Networking sessions are meant for clear networking purposes among impact investors, funds, and other stakeholders working in the same field. The sessions will start with drawing a big picture on the theme by the host and lead to individual discussions. Through dialogue and exchange among participants the session will give an opportunity to meet other peers interested or already working on the topic to learn from each other and explore potential for collaboration.
