We hosted a Financial Innovations Lab on January 8, 2019 to examine the need and recommend a design for Israel’s development finance platform. The goal of the Financial Innovations Lab was to recommend organizational governance, operational structures and tools for a development finance institution to support international development efforts by the State of Israel.
The Financial Innovation Lab convened international experts in several key areas including: investible project design, public – private partnerships, development management, financial platform program development, blended financing strategies, and structuring capital market solutions in developing economies. This Financial Innovations Lab enabled direct, solutions-oriented discussion between Israel’s policy-makers and international financial and development experts.
