ESG – RESHAPING VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Data: 2024 - 02 - 07

Laikas: 09:00 - 13:00

Vieta: Hilton Garden Inn Vilnius City Centre, Gedimino av. 44B, Vilnius

The ESG movement in the VC market is a progressive force rather than a trend. Investors and funded companies will need to focus on risk assessment, open reporting, and finding a balance between profit and social good as they cross this new ground.


What are the drivers of ESG transformation? What are the obstacles? Is Baltic’s VC ecosystem ready for ESG transformation, where the success of investments is not only determined by financial gain but by the positive impact on the environment and society as a whole? The conference tackles key topics relevant to the VC market and success cases of ESG integration.
