The panel of experts will discuss the role of private capital and impact investing in development, provide examples of how these approaches are being applied currently, as well as look to the future to see what new innovative financing approaches are being considered to achieve development goals. The event will highlight the recently launched CII report: Unleashing Private Capital for Global Health Innovation: Innovator and Investor Support Opportunities. Reaching the health related SDGs will require greater financing, especially from the private capital front, and financing, not just for existing interventions, but also for continued innovation. The report seeks to understand both innovator challenges in successfully attracting private capital to scale their solutions and investor challenges to deploying more private capital in the global health sector.   Panel Discussion: Phyllis Costanza, Chief Executive Officer, UBS Optimus Foundation (panel moderator) Suprotik Basu, Partner and Founder, Blue like an Orange Sustainable Capital Paul Belknap, Chief Operating Officer, Villgro Kenya Amit Bouri, Chief Executive Officer, Global Impact Investing Network Jordan Kassalow, Founder, VisionSpring and EYElliance Tim Ring, Co-founder and Co-chairman, TEAMFund Robert Schneider, Senior Director of Strategy, Lemelson Foundation Introductions and Welcome: Phyllis Costanza, Chief Executive Officer, UBS Optimus Foundation (panel moderator) Amy Lin, Acting Deputy Director, USAID's Center for Innovation and Impact (CII) Background/Scene-setting: Omer Imtiazuddin, Senior Innovative Financing Advisor, USAID's CII   Check-in will begin at 10:00 a.m., and lunch will be available after the panel.
