This event is jointly organised by the European Investment Fund, the European Commission and the European Investment Bank Advisory, under the InvestEU initiative.

The Neighbourhood unites during a private pre-event to Impact Week. Our national partners from Eastern Europe and the MENA-region bring their stakeholders to BBK Kuna to jumpstart a discussion on what is needed to take the social economy and impact investing space in their respective countries to the next level.

Whether you are looking to take your first steps in the Neighbourhood, or to deepen your involvement there, this is the place to be.
