Join us for the official launch of the 2025 Sovereign Impact Report, a flagship publication by the Center for the Governance of Change at IE University. This virtual event will explore how sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) from Africa to Asia are shifting from passive investment vehicles to active impact investors mobilizing capital for sustainable development.
With global assets surpassing $13 trillion, SWFs are increasingly embracing a “double bottom line”: delivering strong financial returns while advancing domestic development goals — especially in climate finance and infrastructure. Learn more about these strategic investors, and what their role will be in the future of financing climate solutions, impact investments, and sustainable development.
