Forum Fever Grips the Globe as Impact Investing and Youth Empowerment Take Center Stage

"BERLIN and ROME - The world is abuzz with the buzzword 'forum,' as two major events converge to shape the future of impact investing and youth empowerment. At the Global Impact Investing Network's Impact Forum in Berlin, Amundi revealed a new digital platform designed to simplify access to impact investing for investors and facilitate fundraising for managers. The platform aims to accelerate the growth of the industry, which has already reached $1.6 trillion in assets under management in 2024.
In Rome, the 2025 World Food Forum kicked off with a Global Youth Forum Opening, setting the tone for a week of youth-driven innovation, creativity, and action. FAO Director-General QU Dongyu praised young people's determination, saying, 'When I look at this generation, I see one that refuses to accept limits.' The Forum celebrates FAO's 80th anniversary and emphasizes the importance of working together across generations, sectors, and regions to drive progress.
As these events unfold, the 'forum' phenomenon is gaining momentum, bringing together impact investors, youth leaders, and stakeholders from around the world. The question on everyone's mind is: what's next for this dynamic and rapidly evolving space? With the industry's growth projected to continue at a CAGR of 21% since 2019, one thing is clear - the future of impact investing and youth empowerment is being shaped by the collective efforts of these global forums.",
