The Invest in Mekong Region Marketplace is an event intended to gather financial investors to meet one to one with a diversified and investible pool of MFIs from Mekong Region matching their investment preferences in terms of investment type, size, tenure, country, social and financial criterion, risk appetite and expectation of financial and social return.
It’s a bummer this event isn’t a month earlier given that I’m in Siem Reap right now. I plan to be in Chiang Mai starting on the 11th or 12th of February, but we’ll see if I can make it back here in a month to attend.
