SIIA is a non-profit association in Zug with a mission to showcase investments and companies with societal impact. It is a platform for best practice impact investments, seeking credible risk, return and impact investment opportunities to showcase. SIIA encourages all stakeholders to jointly develop a narrative for impact investment for society to adopt. We envision a society in which the quest for economic profit solves rather than creates social and environmental pressure. Besides capital and impact that are essential ingredients for a prosperous society and healthy economy, entrepreneurs and investors matter more than ever because they choose the purpose of the businesses they run and financially support.

Galileo IIIC (International Impact Investing Centre) is an association based in Zurich, which promotes the theme of Impact Investments internationally. Impact investments refer to investments which achieve significant positive, measurable social and environmental impacts beside financial returns. Our VISION: Impact Investing as the new normal. We believe that impact investing should become a major catalyst for social and environmental reforms. More people becoming aware of and having access to impact investing will improve the quality of everyone's lives and the health of the planet. Our MISSION is to promote impact investing in Europe and Russia and to provide accessible education in impact investing to people. The Galileo Centre aims to transform impact investing into mainstream and new normal.
