Why impact investing doesn’t work | Uli Grabenwarter | TEDxDonauinselSalon

Uli Grabenwarter is a self-proclaimed “non-mainstream investor”. His TEDx talk is a much needed wake up call that we are believing a lie: We can generate profits while doing good. Uli explains that we need to change the way we as consumer spend our money rather than waiting for governments and investors to change the world for the better. Uli Grabenwarter leads the investment activities in Venture Capital, Impact Investing, and Technology Transfer at the European Investment Fund (EIF), which is Europe's largest Fund-of-Funds Investment platform in these markets. Additionally, Uli holds the position of visiting professor at the IESE University of Navarra in Barcelona and is an active member of several Boards and Think Tanks in the field of impact investment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
