Refugee Investment Resources for Investors and Entrepreneurs

RIN was delighted to participate in #innPactWeek in Barranquilla, Colombia.  Designed and conducted by Five One Labs, with support from USAID, the event brought together over a dozen RLI entrepreneurs and a large and diverse group of impact investors from the United States, Latin America and Colombia to Barranquilla to learn about – and invest in – the burgeoning RLI startup ecosystem on the Caribbean Coast and across Colombia. See the full event write up on the link below.

In partnership with the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, our new report highlights the findings from a business survey on refugee employment. The report considers the reasons London companies look to employ refugees, the barriers that are preventing more from doing so, and potential steps to encourage more businesses to hire refugee employees.

RIN found that the UK market – with its robust set of interested capital partners – presents a tremendous opportunity for the creation of Refugee Lens Investing (RLI) as a new vertical in the UK’s impact investing ecosystem. Learn more in this market assessment.
