Why attend?

Because the General Assembly is more than a statutory meeting.
It is a space where we share, with full transparency, what we have achieved, what we have learned, and what we want to build together.

In 2025, the year of our 30th anniversary, we continued our mission in an uncertain global context. And yet, the impact is there: entrepreneurs innovating, farmers strengthening their activities, families building resilience. So many trajectories that remind us of the strength of a model where money becomes a lever for dignity.

Whether you are curious, committed, new to impact finance, or simply eager to discover Alterfin from the inside, you are most welcome.
Bring a friend or colleague: shared perspectives make our cooperative stronger.

A unique conversation awaits you

“Finance as a Lever for Dignity”:
A dialogue between research and field practice.

This year, during the second part of the event, we will have the pleasure of welcoming:

• ‍Lore Vandewalle, Professor of Economics at KU Leuven;
• ‍Josh Olson, Global Director of Impact and Engagement at VisionFund International; and
• ‍Simon Ziba, Managing Director of VisionFund Zambia, Alterfin’s microfinance partner.

By bringing together research and field experience, they will explore what finance truly makes possible, its limits, and the essential conditions for sustainably improving people’s livelihoods. A lucid and inspiring exchange.
