PE interview in Financial Inclusion

I have a final interview for a PE associate role at a firm that is fully focused on impact investments and the role is targeted to investing in financial inclusion (microfinance, fintech, etc.) in developing countries.

I really want to join this firm and move to impact investing, but I am under the impression that I have less working experience than other candidates and, despite being a PE analyst, the industry and countries that I covered were completely different, so I really need to prepare if I want to stand out in any way. Do you have any case studies more directly related to financial inclusion or any tips?
