USVI agency focuses on becoming impact investment hub for the Caribbean
NEW YORK, USA -- The US Virgin Islands Specialist Economic Development Agency, the University of the Virgin Islands RTPark, (UVI RTPark), is focused on becoming an impact investment hub for the Caribbean.
As the financial world shifts to embrace mission-oriented investing, the RTPark's executive director, Dr Gillian Marcelle, said the USVI is ready to lead the region in this sector.
Dale Le Febvre, one of the newest clients in the UVI RTPark, embodies the spirit and intention of impact investing. Through Anvil 1 LLC, Le Febvre is investing in the USVI, through the RTPark, and is already giving back.
Not only the youngest African-American to donate more than US$1 million to the new Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture, he places great importance on education and has shown the way by investing in building the technical workforce of the future in the USVI and pledging social investments of US$750,000 over the next 15 years to the University of the Virgin Islands for scholarships, research and teaching programs in process technology and energy.
