FT/IFC Conference & Awards 15

The Financial Times and IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, present the second annual FT/IFC Transformational Business Awards.

This unique global program highlights ground-breaking products and services that provide transformative, long-term solutions to key development issues, including the delivery of infrastructure, housing, energy, transportation, food/water, employment, education and health; the use of technology to empower the underserved; and efforts to reverse social and financial exclusion and environmental degradation.

The 2015 Transformational Business Awards mark a decade of collaboration between the Financial Times and IFC on a global awards initiative that has had a major impact on the way financial and non-financial institutions approach sustainable investment. The initiative began in 2006 with the FT/IFC Sustainable Banking Awards, which evolved into the Sustainable Finance Awards in 2011 and the Transformational Business Awards in 2014.

The dinner will conclude the second FT/IFC Transformational Business Conference, a major one-day summit that will gather policy-makers, business leaders, investors and strategists from around the world to discuss the most effective solutions to the key social and environmental challenges facing developing economies.
