The 2022 GIIN Forum held in The Hague, Netherlands, was an impact investing celebration drawing 1,500 attendees from all corners of the globe. For many, the event was the first major gathering in more than two years, since the pandemic began.
The Importance of Business Assistance in Impact Investing
As an impact lender, we view our business assistance as having as much of an impact on these businesses as our capital. By this summer, NESsT’s Business Assistance Facility will have provided advisory services to 20 businesses in South America. Our services focus on two main areas: financial management and social impact measurement.

A central theme dominated the conference: impact management. While the topic is certainly not new, the urgency is. In part this urgency is driven by the increasing visibility the sector is attracting. New impact funds from leading private equity firms and glitzy events in the world’s trendiest capitals provide fodder to the press and public opinion to look from the outside-in for reasons to find flaws in the sector.
