10th Annual Conference of the European Microfinance Network

– Stockholm 25-26 June

Registration opens Mid-April

The Conference will focus on finding concrete innovative solutions to the challenges facing the microfinance industry in Europe, as regards to the market needs, organizational designs that support strategic innovation and growth as well as innovative funding instruments to suit the specific needs of MFIs.

Why innovation for Microfinance in Europe?

The EU microfinance market is of growing importance as a market segment with a potential to counter poverty and unemployment while fostering financial and social inclusion. BUT the sector does not use its full potential to meet the needs of the growing and diverse market.

The Conference will focus on finding concrete innovative solutions to the aforementioned challenges. Therefore, a 48-Hour Innovation Race will be organized.

Innovation race

The reasons for organizing a 48-Hour Innovation Race are to create real change. The conference will provide MFIs a platform to carry out activities that differ from the workshops and training courses which are usually organized in conferences. The race will produce concrete results, create change and knowledge on innovation and innovation processes.
