LGT Venture Philanthropy is looking for people who want to use their
professional skills to help social organizations around the globe scale
their impact. We implemented the iCats Program (www.icatsprogram.com)

portfolio organizations in need of professional know-how and resources,
and business professionals with the desire to apply their knowledge and
experience (strategy, business development, marketing, process and
systems ...) to improve the quality of life of less privileged people.
The iCats Program was started by LGT Venture Philanthropy in 2007 to
strengthen the intellectual capital provided to its portfolio
organizations, alongside financial and social capital.

We hope to inspire collaboration across disciplines to formulate truly original ideas on international development and devise an entirely new public-private alliance--one that will allow a private enterprise to contribute to international development initiatives in a specified region. The first round will take place from February to March, and will narrow down the teams to eight finalists. These finalists will travel to Washington, DC for the final round event on April 23rd.

Food for Thought
“One of the major drivers, in recent years, has been students’ growing
interest in engaging in developmental activities in emerging markets.
The best and brightest will pick a business school that offers such opportunities
– and this is equally true for top-of-the-line company recruitment.
Hence the degree of business school engagement in Africa and other developing
regions has become an increasingly important competitive offering.”
- Guy Pfeffermann, "Into Africa", Global Focus, Summer 2008 |
