Social Impact Investment which aims both to solve social challenges and tomake a profit is attracting attention in response to SDGs. In Japan, social
impact investment estimates amounting 344 billion yen in 2018, which is 5times larger than last year. However the proportion of impact investment inJapan is much smaller than its investment in US and Europe. We will invite
practical social impact investors from The Aavishkaar Group and Patamar
Capital which have over 15 years of experiences in this field. They will
introduce us the global trends in impact investment and share successful
cases. And we would like to discuss the possibilities and roles of the impact
investment to create innovation and lead to solve the SDGs with audience.

[What is DII seminars?]
The DII seminar aims to create an open space for interaction among private, public, academic and third-party
sectors to exchange new ideas, initiatives and views on innovation to meet Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). To materialize DII, fragmented communities of actors—ranging from those working for international
cooperation, social entrepreneurs, business leaders with increasing interest in corporate social responsibility(CSR), start-ups & venture capitalists—need to communicate and exchange ideas to test their potential. Thisseminar, hence, hopes to become a seedbed for innovative ideas, collaborations and partnerships among
different actors and to identify the policy agenda that helps accelerate such process.
