Place-based investing: Join us at The Conduit in London’s Covent Garden on Thursday 15 May to learn from key investors as they discuss how capital can be a catalyst for growth, resilience and progress at both local and regional level.

Under the title ‘Place-based investing – Harnessing Institutional Capital for Regional Growth’, our annual Impact Investor Forum returns to The Conduit, London on Thursday 15 May.
