Three organisations have recently launched a programme to increase investment in social business and environmental sectors.
The organisations are German-based financial consultancy firm Roots of impact (RoI), local business consulting firm LightCastle Partners (LCP), and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) in Bangladesh.
The platform – Biniyog Briddhi: Scaling Impact Enterprises of Bangladesh – was rolled out through a video conferencing, according to a statement.
Derek George, deputy director of the SDC, Bjoern Struewer, founder and CEO RoI and Bijon Islam, CEO of LCP, attended the launch.
The four-year programme is aimed at increasing capacities of impact investors and entrepreneurs dealing with social businesses and environmental issues, the statement added.
The entrepreneurs, who will play positive role in facing environmental challenges, will get financial assistance under the programme.
Initially, applications will be accepted from impact entrepreneurs and accelerator programmes through the initiative's website: www.sie-b.org.
