The challenges we face today are becoming more complex and interlinking than ever. Whether we are living in increasingly polarised societies, dealing with the positive and negative impacts of technology for everyone, making investment worth not just for dollar return or running a business that would tick off the ESG goals with social impact, it is clearly requiring diverse stakeholders and innovative solutions to address such complexity. Dialogues and exchanges are facilitated at Social Enterprise Summit between people from different backgrounds, including leaders and social innovators from businesses, investors, civil society, academia, policy makers, foundation and NGOs. These exchanges are based on mutual value, cumulative experiences on delivering social impact to millions of people around the world, and the common goal of “Designing for Happiness”.
Social Enterprise Summit (SES) 2019 invites over 60 speakers from 15 countries, including USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, India, Bangladesh, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Mainland China, and Hong Kong, to discuss the future of social innovation on 21 to 23 November 2019 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The flagship Summit this year will examine innovative and sustainable solutions on Business, Finance, Inclusion, Collaboration, Youth Entrepreneurship and will include workshops on growth mindset and design thinking, in addition to a social innovation exhibition, a business for good award as well as inspiring exchanges and empowering networking to engage people of all ages to get involve as changemakers.
Resigning the Corporation
Keynote speaker Mr Bart HOULAHAN, (along with his partners, Jay Coen Gilbert and Andrew Kassoy) co-founded B Lab in 2006. Since then, the “B Corp” movement has been starting to redefine the success in business by shining a light on leaders through a corporate certification and use business as a force for good. It encourages all companies to measure and manage their social and environmental impact using the B Impact Assessment (80,000+ companies engaged).
