Impact Investing: Where Are the Deals?
Amit Bouri, John Chiang, Tony Davis, Giles Gunesekera, Deval Patrick, James Gifford, Shiran
Industry leaders from TIAA, Bain Capital, Inherent Group, and the California State Treasurer's office convened to address the critical gap between high consumer interest and the slow deployment of capital in impact investing. Panelists detailed strategic approaches to scaling growth and control investments through specific sectors like affordable housing and inclusive finance, while highlighting the urgent need for standardized measurement frameworks like IRIS to harmonize market expectations. Looking forward, the discussion emphasized that demographic shifts, particularly the impending $40 trillion inheritance by Millennials and increased female financial control, will drive the adoption of regenerative capital models alongside policy reforms to unlock additional tax incentives.

Universities Step Up Their Role in Regional Economic Development
Ross DeVol, Ronald Daniels, Fred Farina, Bahija Jallal, Deval Patrick, Ross Duvall, Ron Daniels
Panelists identified that successful regional innovation clusters require the geographic contiguity of universities, industry, and capital, as evidenced by Massachusetts' long-standing leadership and the specific geographic fragmentation challenges faced by institutions like Johns Hopkins. To bridge the "valley of death" between basic research and commercialization, experts advocated for sustained federal investment in commercialization follow-ons and state-level strategic funding that prioritizes cross-institutional collaboration over short-term political cycles. These interventions aim to transform cultural barriers within academia while ensuring a robust pipeline of human capital capable of de-risking technologies and fostering sustainable economic growth.
