 Framework

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

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

The actors of International Geneva, NGOs and the UN System in particular, will be able to integrate this tool into their sizing of cross-cutting impact projects, making it possible both to break down silos and to access these new forms of financing.

Participants will leave with turnkey operating methods, directly usable in their daily practice.

Discussions between the stakeholders of this meeting take place both in the form of a Round Table between the speakers, and in the form of subgroup debates involving the Assembly audience.
