Together, the GIIN and IIC forge a partnership grounded in shared values and goals. Firstly, it’s increasing awareness. Both organizations are dedicated to expanding awareness of impact investing among a diverse range of investors, including domestic and international stakeholders. Secondly it’s elevating impact measurement. IIC and GIIN, both advocate for standardized impact measurement practices to underscore the weight of impact achieved by investors. Thirdly, it’s knowledge and data – acknowledging the importance of data-driven growth, both organizations recognize the need for knowledge and information-exchange platforms.
The GIIN annual forum is one of the most anticipated platforms for the global impact investing community. The main purpose of the forum is to provide networking opportunities and exchange information.
The GIIN annual forum is one of the most anticipated platforms for the global impact investing community. The main purpose of the forum is to provide the ecosystem with networking opportunities and exchange information.

As always, this year’s GIIN forum was themed, and its theme was the oceans of the world.
It was a pleasant surprise to witness GIIN’s dedication towards the intersection of climate and oceans. Sectors traditionally highlighted at such convenings are zero hunger, agriculture, housing, financial inclusion, and health. It was decided to stay ahead of the curve with such timely topics as emerging pools of capital, new solutions in the Global South, the “blue economy”, biodiversity & climate intersection, regeneration, AI’s implications for impact investing, and much more.
Were you able to accomplish your goals at the forum?
Yes. It was a success! IIC’s agenda at the GIIN forum was to enable a corridor for India-focused asset owners and asset managers. To give investors a room to share their strategies for India, and provide the Indian asset managers with the opportunity to showcase innovation through their prism. At IIC’s India Room’s session, which was extremely interactive, we enabled the delegates to not just acquaint the fellow attendees with their work but showcase the intersection of India impact investing with the G20 summit. We were joined by 60 delegates, including 21 General Partners (GPs) which comprised 15 members of the Impact Investors Council (IIC) and 19 influential Limited Partner organizations from 12 countries.
