The first Executive Committee Meeting of the Impact Investment Platform “Etkiyap” was held. In the meeting held on the internet due to the COVID-19 measures, the process that Etkiyap has emerged as an idea and has gone through until today was evaluated. Established in April of this year under the leadership of Şafak Müderrisgil and Sertaç Yeltekin, the strategies for the activities to be carried out in order to ensure that the concept of “impact investment” is better known in Turkey and that it becomes widespread as a new investment model were discussed. The structure and fields of activity of the Impact Investment Association, which was established as the legal entity of Etkiyap, were consulted.
Etkiyap Executive Committee Members, who came to the meeting from five different countries around the world, talked about the steps planned to be taken to raise awareness of the impact investment model both among the sectors and among the public. A roadmap has been drawn up for what will be done in the future in establishing the necessary ecosystem for impact investing.
