Masterclass Topic: Sustainable Finance in 2026: Towards a More Pragmatic Approach
Synopsis:
In the decade since the Paris Agreement and the launch of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the integration of environmental and social considerations by banks, institutional investors, asset managers and other financial-sector participants has moved rapidly into the mainstream around the world. Key developments include the rise of ESG investing and green and sustainability-linked financing, commitments by many providers of capital to align their investment and lending portfolios with 1.5°C pathways in support of real-economy decarbonisation, and the rapid evolution of sustainability reporting frameworks and regulation for both businesses and financial institutions.
At the same time, concerns about hype, greenwashing and real-world effectiveness have intensified. ESG backlash, energy security, geopolitical tensions and shifting priorities are also testing the field. This masterclass will assess where sustainable finance stands in 2026, what it has delivered, where it has fallen short, and how it is evolving towards a more pragmatic and disciplined approach.

Led by Professor Balagopal Vissa , INSEAD Professor of Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise, this session explores the critical steps and leadership insights required to assemble and mobilize high‑impact venture teams.
Masterclass Topic: Building a New Venture Team
Synopsis: Most professional investors and observers believe the quality of management is a critical factor to evaluate when assessing a new venture. Attracting high-quality people in an entrepreneurial context and melding them into a cohesive venture team is a challenging task. An important step in putting together a venture team that performs like magic involves thinking through team composition ahead of time. In this session, we examine how to plan for the composition of the venture team so as to minimise predictable tensions and conflicts and maximize the chances of building a solid organisation.
