Abstract
The polycrisis demands substantial more investment, however just more will not be sufficient. The nature of investment needs to change and become focused on transformative change. The presentation will introduce the Deep Transition perspective, discuss trends and new developments in the investment industry and then provide examples for how to invest in transformative change.
