The notion that financial returns and positive impact stand in tension remains widespread, yet investment and operating teams across VC, growth, and buyout increasingly demonstrate the opposite. As megatrends such as healthcare innovation and decarbonization reshape markets, they unlock sustainable business models that inherently deliver societal and environmental benefits while driving strong economic performance. This dynamic is pulling ROI-driven and impact-focused investors into the same opportunity set, accelerating capital flows into solutions with measurable outcomes. The panel will explore the value-creation frameworks behind this shift and examine how traditional investment strategies and impact theses are blending into a unified approach to long-term value.
