As noted by Bruno Robino, Deputy Head of Climate and Social Finance Advisory Division, at the European Investment Bank (EIB): “This well-organised event by MFC, not only enabled me to present the recently launched “Social Inclusive Finance Technical Assistance” programme under the InvestEU Advisory Hub, but also – after several on-line events – gave me the opportunity me to meet again with market practitioners and exchange, face-to-face, with the majority of them. “

In the words of Tatiana Müller (Account Manager at Mastercard Direct Services Europe): “ I would like to express my gratitude and big bravo for your most successful conference held in Istanbul.
