The Summit

In a time of growing geopolitical complexity and public debate around ESG, Building Bridges 2025 is proud to convene a Summit that brings clarity, courage, and ambition to the forefront of sustainable finance.

Kicking off three days of interactive dialogue and problem-solving, our 2025 Summit from 09:00–12:30 on Tuesday, 30 September, brings together decision-makers from across finance, government, business, and civil society to confront today’s most urgent challenges—and showcase bold financial solutions that deliver real-world impact.

For the first time, the Summit will be open to all registered participants.

Francine Lacqua, Editor-at-Large and Anchor at Bloomberg TV, will serve as Master of Ceremonies, guiding the day’s agenda with her signature clarity and global perspective.

A full agenda will be released closer to the event. Dialogue sessions supported by high-level keynotes will explore how finance is enabling transformation in areas where change is most needed:

• Private Markets: Decisive Capital for the Decisive Decade
• Investment Value Chain – Redefining Stewardship for Impact
• Corporate Transitions for Survival and Success: Tackling the hard-to-abate sectors and what role will investors play?
