REQUEST INVITE

Shifting international aid flows and emerging innovations are reshaping investment in K–12 education in developing economies—home to tomorrow's workforce. This invitation-only session brings together a broad spectrum of leaders, including educators and catalytic capital and technology investors, to share how they are working to shape successful K–12 education. Drawing on the Milken Institute's Financial Innovations Lab project, participants will engage in a candid, off-the-record conversation examining where capital is going, emerging investment trends, and what it will take to close gaps for the generation now moving through K–12 classrooms.
