Changemakers for a Better World: Social Entrepreneurs and the SDGs

Social entrepreneurs are emerging as powerful agents of change in the global effort to create a more just and sustainable world. Despite decades of initiatives to fight poverty, over 4 billion people still lack access to basic resources and services such as clean water, healthcare, and quality education. As long as these essentials remain out of reach for so many, inequality and injustice will persist.

This session will focus on how social entrepreneurs are addressing the needs of people at the base of the economic pyramid, communities often underserved and overlooked by traditional markets and systems. Through innovative and inclusive solutions, these changemakers are advancing key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including ending poverty and hunger, expanding access to education, clean water and sanitation, and promoting affordable and clean energy.

Join us as we explore how purpose-driven entrepreneurship is reshaping development from the ground up and helping build a better future for all.
