We are delighted to share that Amit KC Jain, Managing Director of AKCJ Ventures, was invited to participate as a distinguished speaker at the 218th Private Investment Forum Worldwide (PIFW) titled "Building a Better Tomorrow Through Impact Investments in 2025." Held on April 17, 2025, the forum convened global leaders and visionary investors to discuss the evolving landscape of impact investing.

Amit Jain contributed his expertise to a compelling panel exploring the four key trends shaping impact investing in 2025:

1. Climate Tech and Sustainability: With climate-focused investments taking center stage, the panel highlighted how technology is driving scalable, high-impact solutions for a greener future.

2. ESG Alignment: Amit emphasized the growing expectation for founders to align with the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) values of their investors, marking a new era of accountability and purpose-driven capital.

3. AI as an Accelerator: The discussion showcased how artificial intelligence is rapidly enhancing impact outcomes, especially in optimizing energy systems and addressing sustainability challenges.

4. Legacy Beyond Profits: The panelists agreed that success is increasingly measured by the positive legacy investments leave for future generations, not just financial returns.

We extend our gratitude to all the speakers and presenters for their invaluable insights, including Jean de Fougerolles, Marc J. Flohr, Jonathan Tudor, and Armen Solakhyan. Amit’s participation reflects AKCJ Ventures’ ongoing commitment to responsible, forward-thinking investment strategies that drive both financial and societal progress.
