Clann Credo is delighted to announce that Mr Marc Schublin, Director - Strategic Development and EU Policies, European Investment Fund, Luxembourg will address our annual conference, Common Cents 2013, which will take place on Thursday May 9th at the Institute of Bankers in Ireland's Conference Centre, 1 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1.
This will give us here in Ireland the opportunity to hear about the EIF’s role in the impact investment space. The EIF is setting up a new fund-of-funds initiative dedicated to social entrepreneurship and innovation, the ESIEF (the European Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fund). The ESIEF will have cornerstone backing from the European Investment Bank and is now raising funds from private investors. The EIF aims to catalyse and attract private investors’ interest into this emerging and innovative investment area.
The conference agenda is currently being finalised and we will keep you informed in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please remember to mark the date of the conference (9 May 2013) your diary.
