Institutional Members


As an affiliated partner of the G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion, the World Business Angels Investment Forum interacts with leaders in all areas of society — first and foremost in business and political spheres — to help assess needs and establish goals, bearing in mind that the public interest is of paramount importance. WBAF engages with a wide range of institutions — public and private, local and international, commercial and academic — to help shape the global agenda. WBAF holds that, with the participation of individuals and institutions from multiple sectors and from all parts of society, real progress can be achieved.

WBAF Institutional Members contribute to this effort. This community comprises well-established influential businesses that advance the development of their industry and the growth of their regional economies. Including top global innovators and disruptors that range from niche market leaders to regional champions, Institutional Members collaborate to address key issues, identify emerging trends and further the Forum’s mission of easing access to finance globally.

Institutional Members, at the core of all Forum activities, cooperate to find sustainable solutions to global issues. They are typically top-rated high-profile global institutions that play a leading role in their industry and their particular region.

 

Cooperation with Institutional Members

Institutional Members are committed to the idea that interaction between multiple stakeholders can be a positive force in creating change. They work in close cooperation with the Forum to help shape regional and global agendas in the global and regional investment markets. Through this cooperation, Institutional Members contribute to the global knowledge base and benefit from it as they determine the agenda of Forum meetings and develop the focus of Forum initiatives. By contributing to better policymaking, sharing best practices, and engaging stakeholders beyond commercial objectives, institutional members of the World Business Angels Investment Forum can and do have a real impact on issues of worldwide concern.

 

World’s Top Brands

The World Business Angels Investment Forum institutional membership currently includes some of the world’s top companies, corporate ventures, stock exchanges, chambers of commerce and industry, technoparks, technology transfer offices, SME agencies, innovation centres, banks, regional development agencies, incubation centres, acceleration centres, crowd-funding platforms, VCs, and business angel networks, each playing a key role in shaping the future of their particular industry as well as the future of their respective investment markets.

Numerous entities participate in the Forum’s communities: public/governmental bodies, intergovernmental international organisations, networks/associations/aggregations of intermediaries (profit and non-profit), private non-profit organisations and foundations, business associations and individual intermediary and business support organisations (including universities and private profit-oriented organisations). Their involvement strengthens the Forum’s various events and special projects.

WBAF believes that by working together across borders, with a common vision, and with these smart dynamics in mind, we are well placed to bring about positive change in the global economy.
