2025 Program

Impact Investing For Advisers, Foundations, & Family Offices

Access experts and specialists to advance your understanding of the opportunities available for investment in positive impact companies, organisations, and projects and share your ideas and deals with other advisers, foundations, and family offices. Sessions will focus on accessing and generating new ideas, researching funds and deals, and pitches from early-stage companies through to institutional-grade funds.

Impact Investing for Institutions

Hear from major funds, super funds, and Government institutions about their existing exposures to positive impact assets and companies and their processes to determine how they allocate capital. Sessions will also include presentations from existing portfolio companies and funds, asset consultants, and internal fund teams.

Impact Focus Areas

To identify investment opportunities and facilitate capital flows to address pressing social and environmental challenges, we will focus sessions on key impact investment sectors with keynote speakers, expert panels, dealmakers, and investors. Each sector will have a separate stream enabling Summit attendees to delve deeply into one area or join sessions most relevant to them across the themes. At the 2025 Summit, the streams will be:

  • Climate & Environment/ClimateTech: accelerating decarbonisation by transitioning faster to clean energy and a circular economy.
  • Communities – Aged care, built environment, childcare, housing, and inclusion: ensuring safer, fairer, more inclusive communities for all.
  • Education/EdTech: improving outcomes across all ages through better access to quality education tools and services and closing the education gap.
  • Healthcare/Biotech & Medtech: developing treatments and services to provide affordable, accessible healthcare and improve preventative and early intervention.

Pitch Sessions

Following the keynote presentations and panel sessions, companies and funds in each sector will present to qualified* investors, providing attendees with potential investment opportunities.

* Qualified as “sophisticated” or “wholesale” investors
