MAIN TRACKS

1. A nurturing ecosystem

Social enterprises address dysfunctions in the system by finding entrepreneurial solutions that are efficient,

sustainable and have a high impact.

A deliberate alignment of progressive policy, social investment, specialist business and start up support,

open public markets, leadership development, social enterprise education, awareness raising campaigns

and effective communication measures can help them thrive.

Social enterprise movement leaders, policy makers and investors will highlight best practises and share

experiences.

2. Social Enterprise - champion in the fight against poverty

There is a growing awareness of the need to rethink traditional measures to fight poverty, as it becomes

increasingly far reaching and multifaceted.

A growing sense of urgency has led to the birth of a new generation of social enterprises who strive to

tackle the global issues facing us today: increasing poverty, unemployment, limited access to health and

other basic services, depletion of natural resources.

The Forum will make different voices heard: success stories, challenges and failures.

3. Impact Investment - realigning expectations

An emerging class of impact investors is increasingly crowding the social enterprise scene with the stated

intent of supporting the most promising social enterprises to scale up.

What is the real scope of impact investing? What are the expectations that investors and entrepreneurs

can realistically harbour in building a true cooperation?

4. Social enterprises feeding the planet

A new perspective on food and nutrition, the recent global food crisis and young generations returning to

farming and agriculture have supported the birth of social enterprises that innovate along the whole food

value chain, from production to recycling, thus creating economic value and social inclusion, respect for

the environment and responding to the needs of disadvantaged areas.

The Forum will give voice to the most recent trends in this industry.

Cross cutting theme:

YOUTH ENGAGEMENT

Tens of thousands of young people are active within the social enterprise movement driven by a desire

to build a new economy that can respond to the social economic and environmental challenges the

world now faces.

The Forum is an extraordinary opportunity for young people to gain exposure to a growing social

enterprise movement where they can influence its present and its future.

Social Enterprise is attracting young talent in ever growing numbers – they are starting new social

ventures, growing existing enterprises and innovating new solutions to meet the vast array of modern

world challenges.

Young social entrepreneurs from around the world will gather at SEWF to influence, disrupt and bring

their desires and ideas to those who hold power. They will shape the movement and determine the

future of the new world economy.
