Open Classroom on Impact Economy: The Road to Impact Investment

The Social Impact Chair, launched by Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Open Value Foundation, Fundación Repsol and Management Solutions, held its Open Classroom’s second session on Impact Economics

"The road to impact investment", as this session was entitled, included the personal testimony of three people with a long professional career who are nowadays involved and committed to Impact Investment in Spain: Mr. Arturo García Alonso (Global Social Impact Investments), Ms. Ma Angeles León (Open Value Fundation), and Mr. Emilio Ayanz (Creas). The presentation provided insights from various professional realities to help understand impact investment in our country, examining topics such as the process that is taking companies from philanthropy and traditional investment to impact investment, the challenges of founding and managing organizations that combine financial revenue with a positive social impact, or the role played by education.
