This panel proposes discussing what has to be done for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the region to gain greater access to capital. Methodology: We would like to share concrete examples of products and initiatives that increase credit accessibility to companies in this category (SMEs), as well as discuss the developments needed in the private banking sector to better attend this market.

The model includes loans, guarantees, mezzanine finance (also known as quasi-equity), equity and convertible grants, and this methodology is used across sectors including health services, childcare, education and housing. But how is venture philanthropy different from existing grant funding and what are the benefits and challenges associated with it? Investors and social enterprises meet in the panel and discuss these issues from their experiences.
