WHERE CAPITAL AND SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP MEET
The Impact Finance Conference (IFC) connects dedicated individuals from the financial world and the business community who share a common vision: to bridge the gap between the financial industry and a sustainable economy.
Where are there still unresolved challenges and which factors, along with capital, will become more and more important in the future? We wanted to inform, raise awareness and develop solutions to strengthen the Swiss financial system in the long term and at the same time help to make Switzerland fit for the future.
At the conference, 300 decision-makers from the financial industry, as well as thought leaders from business, science and politics, met in Zurich for a cross-sector exchange of knowledge.Together we found solutions for a strong Swiss financial centre and secure the livelihoods of future generations.
Around 25 experts from Switzerland and abroad provided inspiring food for thought for a sustainable financial centre and thus for a stable and sustainable Swiss economy. In various sessions, the participants would individually shape the conference and explore specific topics relating to the financial industry, entrepreneurship, investment and politics with experts in a smaller setting.
“We are convinced that the sustainable use of all resources creates more value in the long term. As an insurer, we are also directly affected by climate events. We have therefore been leading the way for years and want to encourage and support other companies on the path to a more sustainable future.”
Daniel Gussmann Chief Investment Officer, AXA Switzerland

The Impact Finance Conference will not continue in its current form from 2024 onwards.
However, the topic of ‘sustainable finance’ does not lose its relevance, and it will be integrated thematically into the Sustainable Switzerland initiative. The importance of the Swiss financial sector will still persist, and currently, various options are being explored to address the challenges facing the Swiss financial sector.
