Devex IMPACT HOUSE @UNGA80
Sept. 22-24, 2025
New York / Online
THE 2030 AGENDA IS UNFINISHED.
DEVEX IMPACT HOUSE @ UNGA IS WHERE CONVERSATIONS WILL MOVE IT FORWARD.
Five years from 2030, the world needs new ideas, honest debate, and unlikely allies. Join Devex as we bring together global development leaders and beyond to confront the hard questions — and build what’s next.
From Sept. 22 to 24, as world leaders gather in New York City for the U.N. General Assembly and Climate Week, Devex will open its doors as a hub for bold, news-driven conversations on the future of global development. Across three days, you’ll find live interviews led by Devex journalists, curated roundtables, interactive workshops, and high-level partner events — plus plenty of time to connect with other leaders on our rooftop terrace over food, drinks, and unfiltered conversations.
We’ll kick off on Sept. 22 with the NCD Pavilion, a full day of programming focused on solutions to the global challenge of noncommunicable diseases.
Expect sharp journalism, bold ideas, and real talk with the people shaping what’s next in global development — all in a vibrant, welcoming space near the heart of the action in Bryant Park.
Space will be limited. Request your invite to join our events in person, or sign up to receive all of our on-demand content from the week!
Program
This program is still evolving, with new speakers, sessions, and events added regularly. Devex Impact House will feature multiple convenings across several spaces. Your access pass includes entry to our Impact Stage for high-level conversations, Innovation Terrace for interactive sessions, and the Collaboration Lounge, where you can connect with fellow leaders, grab a refreshment, or catch live interviews from our content studio.

Impact Stage
In partnership with Agence Française de Développement, Finance in Common, and the International Development Finance Club
This event will highlight Public Development Banks,
or PDBs’ unique placement as an operational bridge
across the agendas that are too often siloed:
climate and development, public and private finance,
global goals and local priorities. Looking to
continue the momentum of the Fourth International
Conference on Financing for Development in Seville —
where, for the first time, PDBs were explicitly
recognized in the Outcome Document as essential
actors — through to COP30 in Belém later this year,
this session will explore how PDBs can turn
high-level commitments into concrete, country-driven
solutions.
