Impact finance for vulnerable populations
Impact finance for vulnerable populations
ADA is organising an event on ‘Impact finance for vulnerable populations’ at the auditorium of Banque de Luxembourg on 20 April 2026 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by a networking lunch.
On this occasion, we will present ADA's role in supporting entrepreneurship and impact finance stakeholders, from Luxembourg to vulnerable populations in the Global South. It will also be an opportunity to open a new phase of collaboration with the Luxembourgish ecosystem. Socially responsible companies, financial institutions, philanthropic actors and development organisations will be presented with new opportunities for taking action together with ADA.
During his speech, Mr Xavier Bettel, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade and Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs, will showcase how Luxembourg's Development Cooperation collaborates with partners.
Please note: places are limited. You can register your interest in the event via the link at the bottom of this page. If you are invited to attend, you will receive a confirmation email with your ticket.
