"By defining entrepreneurship in a broader way we can change the character of capitalism radically" - Prof. Yunus
Within our economic system, there are currently two prevailing approaches to organizations. The first is that of the private sector where companies sell products or services to make money. However, there are important issues in our society which are not addressed by the private sector because they do not offer profit-making opportunities. This usually leads to government interventions to create legal and institutional frameworks to advance the common good and to protect the interests of weaker members of society. Where both governments and the markets reach their limits, charities may fill the gap.
We want to bring influencial trend setters from industry, business and the creative branch, to tell stories of personal approaches to improving society through social business.
The evening will feature a TEDxTalks session and an enclosing networking session with dinner.
