ImpaktEU is an impact first fund with the objective to steer investment towards players with a part to fulfil in facing up to the social, economic and environmental challenges that confront us. Microfinance is a means of empowering the less-privileged who have no access to the conventional financial system and allowing them to gain a foothold in the business world. In so doing, it reduces inequality by allowing people to contribute and benefit from a portion of the wealth that is created. On the other hand, social business, or social entrepreneurship, offers business models that are viable economically but whose objectives are first and foremost aimed at resolving social problems, above their shareholders’ enrichment.
