Background
A 12-month consultation (2018-2019) with over 250 public & private sector financial organisations and individuals—to understand their needs—revealed:
- A need to convene public & private sector actors to help share insights, opportunities and threats
- A need to better map investment to impact both in pre-funding analysis and post-execution reporting
- A need to demonstrate material, long-term impact that reduces risk and increases returns
- A need to stimulate innovation that brings together public & private sector expertise to maximise public good and private returns
- A need to reduce friction in data sharing, addressing IP and related legal and security issues
