About
Systemic investing and capital orchestration: a journey through theory and practice. A new kind of financial actor is quietly emerging—and it could transform how we tackle society’s biggest challenges. These actors are rooted in place-based contexts and bioregions and take a systems view: mapping root causes, identifying leverage points, and asking how much and what kind of capital is really needed to shift the system. They build strategies around the challenge itself—not the constraints of a single funding source. They convene coalitions of asset owners, investment managers, foundations, corporations, public sector bodies, and community organizations; design multi-layered investment architectures; and channel diverse forms of capital to strategic portfolios of projects, companies, and initiatives. In short, they are financial backbones that strategically orchestrate financial capital so that more money of the right kinds flows to regenerate ecosystems and communities. Join the TransCap Initiative, Climate KIC, and Metabolic to learn more about the what, who, and how of systemic investing and strategic capital orchestration and explore some pioneering case studies of financial backbones in regenerative agriculture and urban transformation. We’ll invite you to engage in a discussion about how to better orchestrate funding and investment capital for the transformation of cities and bioregions, and of food, energy, and other real-economy systems.
