Impact Investing in Latin America

---

Latin America has emerged as one of the world's most dynamic regions for impact investing, driven by strong entrepreneurial ecosystems, growing institutional interest, and increasing demand for capital that delivers both financial returns and measurable social and environmental impact. At the same time, investors continue to navigate macroeconomic uncertainty, political transitions, changing development finance priorities, and persistent financing gaps that make scaling businesses and infrastructure challenging.

Our discussion will examine where capital is flowing today, the sectors and markets generating the greatest momentum, and the opportunities and challenges shaping the next generation of impact investing across the region. Drawing on perspectives from venture capital, development finance, infrastructure investing, and private equity, our panel will explore how public and private capital can work together to mobilize greater investment, strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems, and drive inclusive economic growth throughout Latin America.

We are excited to welcome our speakers:

• Magdalena Coronel, Chief Investment Officer at the Inter-American Development Bank Lab (IDB LAB)
• Monica Brand Engel, Co-Founder and Managing Partner - Quona Capital
• Jamie McInerney, Managing Director Caribbean & Latin America - CrossBoundary
