On May 25th and 26th, 2010, you can join 800 experts from the sectors of social business, finance, civil society and new technologies in Paris for Convergence 2015, a discussion forum aimed at bringing about new convergences between the private and public sectors and social business. The conference’s objective is to contribute to setting up a sustainable development strategy for effectively reducing extreme poverty worldwide, as set out in the Millennium Development Goals in 2000.
Launched in 2008, Convergences 2015 has become an essential European meeting point for all development actors. Initially focused on microfinance, its scope was enlarged to the field of social business, to include a wide range of solutions for the reduction of extreme poverty.
The conference will consist of roundtable meetings to discuss the following issues :
- Structuring and funding social business throughout the next decade
- Microfinance, back to basics: long-term value for low income clients
- Economic development and microfinance in Africa: how to move forward ?
- Social reinsertion and entrepreneurship: developing microcredit in France
