An increasing number of financial instruments for islands have emerged to help fund climate resilience efforts. With these opportunities, islands can unlock the potential to lead the way in inclusive development and inspire a global shift toward a more sustainable and equitable economy.
At the Island Finance Forum 2023, attendees will have the unique opportunity to learn from experts that will highlight these solutions and facilitate access to finance and investment for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Islands can enhance their resilience, safeguard their natural resources, and shift towards a low-carbon, climate-resistant future by implementing sustainable finance solutions. Green bonds, for example, offer financial support to eco-friendly initiatives, including sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, and conservation, while blue bonds provide funding for ocean conservation and sustainable marine development. Microfinance provides small loans and financial services to households and entrepreneurs without access to traditional banking, encouraging the development of local businesses, creating job opportunities, and promoting community resilience.
The Island Finance Forum is an excellent opportunity to gather knowledge about the latest sustainable finance solutions for islands. Do not miss on the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and actionable strategies on how to leverage innovative financial models to drive sustainable development. Register today!
We recently hosted the “Move your startup to Malta! The Malta Startup Residence Programme Webinar!” where the attending audience was provided with insightful information about the programme including a realistic account of the life of an entrepreneur who has moved their business to Malta.
“The Malta Startup Residence Programme offers a 3-year residence permit for founders, co-founders, core employees and their families, with the option to renew for a further 5 years by founders and co-founders, and for a further 3 by core employees.
The liberties awarded through this Programme allow persons to not only take advantage of Malta’s resources and lifestyle but also use the country as a launchpad to the markets in the EU and the MENA region. Coupled with attractive non-dilutive funding opportunities from Malta Enterprise, entrepreneurs with disruptive startups should already be jumping at this opportunity.”
