Impact Intelligence: Mapping Investment Opportunities: SDG Investor Maps

SDG Impact has developed an innovative tool to provide investors with country-level market intelligence that highlights key intersections between development need, policy priorities, and investor interest. SDG Investor Maps provide localized insight into sectors and market conditions that advance the SDGs. The methodology identifies Investment Opportunity Areas (IOAs) and business models that could advance the SDGs. These opportunities are backed by actionable data to guide investor decision-making.
