Sun King went from scraping by for a decade to powering 50 million people with off-grid solar across 11 countries — backed by the largest local-currency securitization in Sub-Saharan African history. Rwanda scaled from 20 donor-funded clinics to over 350 self-sustaining, nurse-operated healthcare posts in under five years. This panel asks: how do you build the ecosystem that makes that kind of scale possible?

WHAT THIS PANEL COVERS

• How Sun King built a financing ecosystem from social venture capital through to commercial securitization over 15 years to deliver 340,000 solar kits per month
• Why Doctors Without Borders took its Nobel Prize money to create a new drug development model that brought 20 molecules to market for six neglected diseases
• How the World Food Program’s blockchain identity platform saved $270 million in duplicate aid across 55 agencies in Ukraine
• Why the TransCap Initiative argues that capital orchestration — not just blended finance — is needed to transform entire agricultural systems
• The tension between investing in ecosystem building versus direct investment, and why philanthropy needs to be bolder
