Podcast: Impact Investments, Microfinance, Emerging Markets
The latest episode of our podcast "1.90 pro Tag" features NADEL alumnus Patrick Elmer, founder of impact investment company iGravity.
Impact investment is attracting more and more interest as a means of supporting global development.
Patrick Elmer, 2006 ETH Nadel alumnus, established his own impact investment company iGravity seven years ago after setting up a microfinance bank in Madagascar and a career at CreditSuisse as Head Responsible Investments & Philanthropy. In a conversation with Fritz Brugger, Patrick Elmer gives an insight into how he builds bridges between the knowledge of international cooperation and the mechanisms of the financial world to reduce global poverty. And how social impact and financial return remain in balance when investing in social enterprises.
