The KINETIK-ANDE-ROI Investment Manager Training  (IMT) is the only program of its kind offering a comprehensive overview of investing in small and growing businesses (SGBs). Tailored for investment managers deploying capital into SGBs and capacity development providers supporting entrepreneurs, this highly interactive five-day course is rooted in real deals and practical experience.

Location: Four Points by Sheraton, Bandung, Indonesia

This second edition of IMT in Indonesia is supported by KINETIK—a flagship Indonesia–Australia partnership advancing climate, clean energy, and infrastructure—and Roots of Impact, a global pioneer in Impact-Linked Finance (ILF) and innovative financing solutions that link financial incentives to positive impact. With their support, the training will place particular emphasis on climate change, clean energy, and blended finance, with a special focus on ILF as an approach to enhance the effectiveness and additionality of blended and other forms of investment capital. It will also highlight the importance of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) in ensuring a just and equitable transition.

We particularly welcome applications from participants based in Indonesia or investing in Indonesia, including investors targeting Indonesia as a market, demonstrated through a summary term sheet or fund information memorandum.
