In a rapidly changing world, the search for solutions to societal challenges is complex. Social problem solving is increasingly becoming the core of businesses and start-up ventures operating outside of the traditional social enterprise models. Establishing partnerships, networks and synergies between large organisations and innovative start-ups enables disruptive change that go beyond policy. 

How can we challenge traditional business? How can we decrease the cost of solutions to societal challenges? How can we become people-focused in market driven economies? These are some of the questions we will explore together. Come and join us for an insightful afternoon event to learn, interact and network. Get energized and inspired to co-create for social impact!
