About this event


Over the past years, individuals and organisations have experienced the potential of Impact Investing. In addition, tech startups have the potential to bring in the latest technologies from around the world, thereby leapfrogging developments in localised areas.

The Impact Investment and technology space in Myanmar is slowly but surely coming to life. Several organisations are actively shaping and driving these fields further. In this webinar, hear from AVPN members, Phandeeyar and Rockstart Impact (One To Watch‘s Accelerator Programme), who will share insights on the most recent developments in Myanmar.

The webinar aims to:

  • Identify investment opportunities in Myanmar’s tech start-up and impact entrepreneurs spaces;
  • Evaluate the impact that your investment can make;
  • Set expectations along the investment journey.
