IMPACT FINANCE BELGIUM

Mission & Purpose

IFB’s mission is to increase the share of impact capital in Belgium. Its goal is to mobilize more impact-driven investment, capital and funding to seed and accelerate solutions addressing the needs of people and planet. IFB integrates all capital providers who strive for measurable impact. IFB strives to become the central entity in Belgium, by creating transparency, facilitating access to knowledge, focusing on research and advocacy and engaging with large institutional players.

IFB CEO Frederik van den Bosch commented: “IFB is incredibly excited to be part of the global GSG network. Belgium is a country with a lot of untapped impact potential within the country, both for sourcing and deployment of impact funding. We look forward to putting all our efforts into becoming the central point for impact finance in Belgium. In those efforts, IFB has much to learn from other NABs, or to develop with other NABs”.

Key objectives:

Raise awareness and build capacity with investors, capital providers and funders on their impact journey.
Create transparency, initiate applied research and facilitate access to knowledge, experience and the broad impact finance space overall.
Explore novel (financial) instruments along the spectrum that can boost the impact space.
Co-operate, as a trusted convener and partner to financiers across the spectrum of capital, together with all actors and stakeholders in the impact eco-system.
