Merav Galili: Israel Has the Potential to Become a World Leader in ‘Impact Innovation’

Dr. Merav Galili — author of the opinion piece linked below — is the founding CEO of the Menomadin Foundation, an Israeli-based international impact fund. Through its “blended finance” approach, the foundation is a partner of, and an investor in, dozens of social and philanthropic impact-promoting start-ups and enterprises in Israel and around the world. It leverages private and public capital in the development and application of innovative models and for the creation of sustainable social and economic impact.

Quote: “We live in a world in which new opportunities for education — made possible by impactful investments in infrastructure, digital learning, and online employment opportunities — can change the horizons of an entire generation. We see this as part of a new global portfolio; a ‘new world order’ of investments that does not operate by the old zero-sum financial paradigm. Rather, it operates on the understanding that the world will be better and more profitable if we learn how to create opportunities through impactful investments from which multiple parties gain.”
