Unlocking private capital to meet global challenges

The Blended Finance Lab is a practitioner-driven initiative based at LSE and focused on developing practical solutions to scale blended finance. It brings together investors, policymakers, development banks, and academics to strengthen the blended finance marketplace, enhance practices and education, and generate more investable opportunities.

With the help of funding from the LSE Global School of Sustainability, the Blended Finance Lab was established within the Financial Markets Group in 2025. The Lab has now transferred to CETEx as part of a combined effort on development finance under that research centre's renewed mandate.
