On 7th December 2023, IFT opens its doors to celebrate our mission to shift the way we think about 21st century finance.
Financial institutions, governments and the private sector are turning to innovative financial mechanisms that leverage both social and environmental impacts, plus financial returns, in order to foster sustainability and resilience in complex systems. IFT has been founded to explore challenges, unlock financial opportunities, possibilities and practices that will achieve prosperity for more people.
The event will be introduced by Prof Paola Lettieri, Pro-Provost UCL East and Prof Francesca Medda, Director of the Institute of Finance and Technology.
A panel discussion entitled: Innovations in Finance: Paving the way for a sustainable and impactful future will be led by IFT Industrial Director John Cummins.
