Why IBEM?
Impact Boards Emerging Markets is a non-profit organisation that aims to create an ecosystem for non executive directors in emerging market companies to network, share knowledge, develop professionally, and find their next board position.
Board members can connect with their global peers and capital providers, learn from first class consulting organisations, meet financial institutions, and get corporate and climate governance insights from curated intelligence and research sources, all under one roof.
We invite you to join us and become part of our rapidly growing professional community.
