I very much look forward to healthy discussions with my distinguished fellow committee members on the future of inclusive business and iBAN blue’s role in it. I believe that IB is at an exciting juncture as policy makers, companies and investors are increasingly recognizing its potential and implementing incentive policies, scaling up business models and increasing funding. To accelerate this positive development it is imperative to have one global platform, iBAN blue, which brings it all together representing all stakeholders.
