The new generation of entrepreneurs represents one of the key players.

"We value the network, which helps our name reach more people. And the possibility of talking to others in similar situations as us"

MANAGING PARTNER
DEN SOCIALE KAPITALFOND INVEST
"Socially responsible companies are an inevitable part of the future business and investment climate. It is a global trend on the rise these years, and that is a good thing. The social and sustainable companies have great commercial opportunities, now it is time to look at the sustainable transition as an investment opportunity rather than a philanthropic initiative for the largest companies and private equity funds. It represents a great human and economic potential"
