“A fantastic event in so many ways. It brought together a great, diverse and interesting group of people. Thanks for the hospitality and thanks for the effort and thought that went into designing the panel topics and roundtable format.”
- Jonathan First, Adviser at the Climate Policy Initiative
“Tagus, what is it? A rare, hence very valuable moment, when leading actors of the climate finance space, can discuss, learn and think together and even have some fun.”
- Cyrille Arnould, CEO at Annycent Capital
“I was really struck when Rick Nogueira, the founder of the Tagus Roundtable, explained that the Tagus River had been the starting point for several journeys that had shaped the course of human history in the developing world. With the thought leaders involved, the innovative ideas being presented and the meaningful interactions on how to address climate change in the developing world, the Tagus Roundtable very much felt that it was happening in the right place, at the right time.”
- Las Perera, CEO at the The Development Guarantee Group
“ I just got back from the Tagus Roundtable where I got to learn from, and collaborate with, fellow sustainable finance fund managers and investors. I walked away inspired by the work of Pollination, Climate Fund Managers B.V., econnext AG, MUFG, The Nature Conservancy, The Development Guarantee Group, Posaidon Capital, Emergent and many others. At Lendable we are trying to do our part by helping medium sized business in emerging markets decarbonize, build resilience, and do so with equity in mind.”
- Dan Goldfarb, Executive Chairman at Lendable
"My experience attending the Tagus Roundtable was transformative. It is an exceptional forum that pushes the boundaries of discussion on climate finance, creating a safe space for innovative ideas and testing them among a group of credible practitioners. The depth of knowledge and expertise present was inspiring, and the collaborative atmosphere fostered meaningful dialogue and tangible solutions. I eagerly look forward to attending again next year, knowing that this invaluable platform will continue to shape and advance the discourse in climate finance.”
- Kapil Kanungo, Private Equity Manager at Incofin Investment Management
"The Tagus event convened a brilliant mix of passionate climate finance thought leaders, from fund managers to field practitioners, development bank staff to conservation experts. Three days of Tagus felt like a semester at university, and Lisbon was just the beginning of the education as the WhatsApp thread is a daily curated current of leading edge climate finance trends, collaboration opportunities, and lively debate. I've attended many industry expert events full of energy, but the Tagus event is something altogether different - the energy doesn't end with the closing dinner!"
- Kevin Carlucci, Senior Director at DAI
