Driving revolution through social entrepreneurship

Have you noticed how much time is spent by big corporates talking about innovation and how to disrupt existing marketplaces with new products and new ways of doing things? And how often do you see those same big companies collaborating with lean, edgy startups who have game-changing new ideas or who challenge existing ways of thinking and doing? Well, look out for a new revolution, one that is being led by social entrepreneurs who are looking to make big changes happen for society as a whole by collaborating with the world’s big corporates. Over the past few years, a new generation of impact driven social entrepreneurs have demonstrated that the innovative solutions to some of the biggest socio-economic challenges facing the world today won’t come from individual big companies or organizations. They will be found through smart collaboration, with social entrepreneurs challenging big companies to look differently at how they make a big societal impact, going beyond corporate social responsibility or philanthropy and instead creating win-win partnerships that make a difference and make good business sense.
