Developing, prototyping, and mainstreaming systemic investing with Dominic Hofstetter
Show Notes

How can the finance world adopt systems thinking and what are the radical paradigm shifts needed to facilitate large-scale impact? We know that capital can catalyze change but we are yet to deploy it effectively for system change.

In the fourth episode of the Futuring Podcast, Ivana Gazibara, Director of the Futures Centre, talks to Dominic Hofstetter, Director of Capital & Investments Climate KIC and co-creator of the Transformation Capital Initiative. He has previously worked as a renewable energy entrepreneur, private equity investor and in institutional asset management.

Tune in to hear why ESG funding in its current state does not create much change, why futures thinking should be a prerequisite within portfolio management and how financial interventions will need to be restructured to address system challenges and reinforce real-economy solutions.

Find out more about Dominic's work at www.transformation.capital, a collaborative innovation space for developing, demonstrating, and scaling systemic investing in the places that matter most for human prosperity—such as cities, landscapes, and coastal zones—as well as in value chains and other real-economy systems.
