Join the ANDE Investment Manager Training from 30 June - 4 July 2025 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The ANDE Investment Manager Training (IMT) is the only course of its kind providing a comprehensive overview of investing in small and growing businesses (SGBs). Designed for investment managers actively making investments in SGBs and capacity development providers supporting entrepreneurs, this highly interactive, five-day boot-camp style training draws directly from real investment deals.
Taking place from 30 June to 4 July 2025 in Jakarta, this edition of the IMT will place special emphasis on climate change, the energy transition, and the vital role of gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) in enabling a just transition. We are particularly seeking applicants with an “Indonesian nexus” — those based in Indonesia or investing (or planning to invest) in Indonesia. This could include investors with Indonesia as a target market, as demonstrated by a summary term sheet or information memorandum of a (proposed) fund.
If you’re looking to gain cutting-edge knowledge in early-stage investing in emerging markets—especially with a focus on driving sustainable and inclusive impact in Indonesia’s clean energy transition—this course is for you!
