🌍 At the United Nations hashtag#FFD4 in Sevilla, Professor Xiaolan Fu, Founder and former Director of TMCD (now TIDE Centre, University of Oxford), shared key insights during the “Reimagining Blended Finance: Aligning Capital with the SDGs” dialogue convened by United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Professor Wu shared the panel with Stephany Griffith-Jones Mariana Mazzucato Fadhel Kaboub فاضل قابوبJosé Antonio Ocampo and Jayati Ghosh.

Professor Fu emphasized that innovation and technology are essential to reducing investment risk and unlocking new pathways for financing sustainable development. She highlighted the role of:

🔹 Public venture capital to de-risk innovation and crowd in private finance
🔹 Government-backed guarantees and insurance banks to support investment in high-impact sectors
🔹 AI-driven tools, such as OxValue.AI, to improve the selection of SDG-aligned projects, reduce information asymmetry, and enable dynamic, real-time monitoring of impact

Drawing from experiences in China, Kenya and India, she illustrated how targeted green investments and reduced-rate loans have opened “green windows of opportunity” for inclusive and sustainable growth. But she also stressed: coordination, governance, and strong regulatory frameworks are essential to ensure these innovations serve the public good.

Professor Fu’s call was clear: to make blended finance work for the SDGs, we must focus not only on the quantity of capital—but on quality, alignment, and impact.
