Sustainable Finance
April - May
Drawing inspiration from the popular TV show 'Shark Tank,' this course engages student groups in a dynamic exercise where they pitch their impact investment proposals to a panel of experienced financial experts. Each group is tasked with conducting thorough financial and impact analyses, which they present to the jury. This hands-on approach not only hones their analytical and presentation skills but also provides valuable insights into the real-world process of securing investments based on both financial viability and potential social or environmental impact.
