Upcoming events, webinars and other dates to remember
This e-talk is part of a series of EVPA events on Investing for Development.
Investing in and supporting (social) entrepreneurship development in emerging countries is already an important area of engagement for EVPA‘s investing for development community. In the second theme oft he investing for development event series we would like to explore innovative approaches to finance the “missing middle” and close the financing gap for early stage impact oriented start ups as well as what it takes to support entrepreneurship development, facilitate access to markets and strengthen entrepreneurial eco-systems.
