Dublin became the focal point for global impact capital during Venturewave Capital’s Impact Ireland 2025 Convention, a three-day gathering that united investors, founders and policymakers around one shared idea: impact must be measured, not promised.

Hosted across landmark venues including the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Iveagh House and the Mansion House Round Room, the event celebrated innovation, collaboration and integrity in global investment.

Highlights include

• Patrick and John Collison reflecting on Ireland’s role as a bridge between global capital and innovation.
• The Edge and Adam Clayton of U2, Anne Finucane and Paul Donofrio in conversation on creativity, purpose and sustainable leadership.
• Alan Foy and Kieran McLoughlin outlining Venturewave Capital’s mission to set a global standard for measurable impact investing.
• Discussion on the intersection of culture, philanthropy and responsible capital during the Global Advisory Council lunch.
• Contributions from leaders at Bank of America, State Street, Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland reinforcing Ireland’s global partnerships.

The Convention underscored Venturewave Capital’s conviction that Ireland stands at the centre of global impact, combining credibility, creativity and conscience. The Global Advisory Council sessions reinforced this momentum, bringing together international leaders shaping the standards for measurable impact.
