Course Overview

As global retirement systems grow in scale and complexity, pension funds are increasingly being called upon to demonstrate not just financial stewardship, but also long-term value creation aligned with sustainability and innovation. Recognizing this dual imperative, Pideya Learning Academy presents the course “Sustainable Technology and Innovation for Pension Funds,” a comprehensive training program designed to equip pension professionals with the knowledge and strategic insight needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape.
