Following the publication of the AGILE tool and its 5 families of criteria in the White Paper of the Geneva Foundation for the Future, this session will be an opportunity to compare its concrete applications (Dry Run).

Infrastructures, industries, start-ups, foundations, philanthropists, family offices and impact funds will discover how to apply AGILE to their field: self-assessment, scaling a business model, differentiating projects or identifying the most financially profitable impact initiatives.

Actors of the International Geneva, NGOs and UN System in particular will be able to integrate this tool into the structuring of transversal impact projects, enabling both the breaking down of silos and access to these new forms of financing.

Participants will leave with ready-to-use operational methods, directly applicable to their daily practice.

The exchanges between the stakeholders of this meeting will take place both in the form of a Round Table between the speakers and in the form of group debates involving the Assembly’s audience.
