We introduce you to the ‘A Billion to Gain?’ conference at EYE Amsterdam on the third of September 2014. During this all-day event you will be inspired to envision the future of the inclusive finance sector keeping in mind how you, as a sector, can support people to live up to their ambitions.

In April 2013, ING and NpM started working on the fifth edition in the research series of ‘A Billion to Gain?’. A team of researchers investigated the social and financial impact of microfinance on household level. The results of this research will be presented during the conference. Your attendance and input during this day will be of great value, as only together you can improve the sector and create impact.
