On Monday, 11^th August, more than 350 participants - including 52 active investors and 57 expert speakers (10 flying from abroad) - will converge at Lima’s Delfines Hotel & Convention Centre for the II Peruvian Impact Investing Summit.

If you’re attending, stop by and meet Aldo Soto, Co-founder and Managing Director of Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV). He’ll share how the company mobilised more than $10m in capital for Amazonian SMEs and ethical companies, helping to close the financing gap in one of the world's most critical ecosystems.

Aldo shares the panel stage with:

Máximo Torero, FAO Chief Economist
Mariana Escobar, FAO
Andrés Herreño & Mauricio Mireles, FAO Regional Office
Laura García, CrossBoundary (Brazil)
Tita Zúñiga, EmprendeUP
Fernando De Villena, Inkaterra Asociación

This event is running for the second year and intends to create connections between the participants for future opportunities that unlock the impact investments in Peru.

Influential Voice

AIV offers a unique blend of deep, on-the-ground experience in sustainable value chains and strategic expertise in investment management. Since the foundation in 2020, AIV has been a conduit that bridges impact investors with smallholder producers, ensuring that capital flows equitably into high-value Amazonian value chains.

Our work exemplifies the “leave no one behind” ethos of FAO’s initiative, showing that cooperation can unlock resilient, gender-inclusive value chains across Amazon’s biodiverse frontier.

Don’t just attend: drive the partnerships that will turn scalable Amazonian bio-economies into reality.
