The Financial Times and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, will gather senior investors, innovators, social entrepreneurs and other thought leaders for a major online event that will combine the announcement of the winners and runners-up of the FT/IFC Transformational Business Awards with cutting-edge dialogue on the unprecedented social and economic challenges facing the developing world as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The awards will honour private sector companies whose capital, technology and ideas are contributing to substantive progress in developing low-carbon urban infrastructure, delivering healthcare and education, assuring food and water security, boosting inclusion, and generally transforming the development landscape. This year’s programme marks 15 years of collaboration between the FT and IFC on awards that have had a substantial impact on the way financial and non-financial organisations view private sector’s role in advancing sustainable development. Over the last fifteen years, the Awards have helped dozens of innovative, game-changing companies gain more global visibility, connect with new investors, markets and clients, and scale up impact in their countries and communities.
