The Chair is an initiative of IE University, through IE Foundation, and developed in collaboration with Impact Bridge Asset Management. It seeks to foster academic research and practical insights that enable companies and investors to generate meaningful social and environmental impact.
The Chair seeks to use the potential of quality academic research to contribute to the transformation of social and environmental issues while driving a renewed vision of the business and financial world.
Social enterprises and impact investors can help tackle these challenges.
In a changing and complex environment, we seek to meet the growing demand of committed investors who seek profit while generating impact.
Knowing how to rigorously and transparently measure and communicate social and environmental impact is key to optimizing value creation.
We are leaders in academic research on social entrepreneurship and impact investment, the keys to its success, and future challenges, partnering with academic institutions and researchers. We publish articles and books internationally, disseminating the knowledge generated.
