概要
Most investors never ask that question.
Marcel Smits has spent 25+ years working in conflict zones across Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. After years on the ground, he noticed a major problem:
Peacebuilders create stability.
Then investment arrives.
But without the right safeguards, money can sometimes undo the peace that was just built.
So Marcel is building something new.
Peace Finance.
In this episode we talk about:
• The rise of PeaceFinance.org
• What peace-positive investing actually means
• Why the market for peace finance could reach $40B+
• Why finance and peacebuilding rarely talk to each other
• New funds and financial instruments designed to stabilize fragile regions
• How PeaceTech startups and global development finance could work together
We also debate a hard question:
Can technology truly be “peaceful”… or is every technology dual-use?
If you care about venture capital, global stability, investing, or PeaceTech, this conversation will challenge how you think about money and conflict.
