Filling a Crucial Funding Gap
In Asia, the demand from high-impact enterprises for investment far exceeds the supply of capital. Currently, only 19% of the world’s active private equity and venture capital impact funds across the world target the region, with majority of these funds focusing on India. Many frontier economies of Asia are brimming with innovative, high-impact enterprises in need of capital to scale their businesses and, as a result, their impact on society and the environment. The IIX Growth Fund is an effective solution to fill this gap and accelerate inclusive growth in Asia’s frontier markets.
Optimizing the Impact of Capital
IGF’s mission and themes are closely aligned with the SDGs. The fund aims to mobilize US$50 million of investment capital, resulting in the following:
- Impacting over 8 million lives across Asia, 5 million of which will be women
- Avoiding almost 1 million tons of CO2 emissions
- Delivering affordable healthcare to over 4 million people
- Over 2 Million people gaining access to clean energy
