Nick O’Donohoe, CDC Group, and the Future of Impact Investing

The ability to absorb risk and be truly ‘additional’ in the world
of impact investing sets development finance institutions apart
from markets. Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Nick O’Donohoe,
CEO of CDC Group, on how institutions are providing much-needed
liquidity and capital during the pandemic and why investor action
on climate and the Sustainable Development Goals (‘SDGs’) is vital
to advancing the development agenda. In this far-reaching episode,
Nick discusses the roots of impact investing, the popularisation of
impact investing and the SDGs, the dearth of venture capital that’s
needed to support young entrepreneurs and digital businesses, and
how DFIs can move towards higher risk projects. You can find the
