Social Entrepreneurs and their solution-oriented work are dedicated to the good of all. They are problem-solvers in the areas covered by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). We need them for their creative solutions given the scale of the social problems our societies are confronting. We need them even more to fuse together collaboratively; leverage their changemaking skills and power to shift institutional, societal and individual mindsets towards solving our social problems.

A new era of collaborative social entrepreneurship focused on bring about large scale systemic change is emerging, giving us hope that we will be able to navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain world with confidence, converting adversities into opportunities.

Social Entrepreneurs are helping create an “everyone a changemaker world”, a world where each individual is driven by the positive idea of how she can contribute to change. Their ideas and solutions have established new paradigms of changemaking. They have shown us that we inhabit a world where everyone must contribute to changemaking by learning the changemaking skills of cognitive empathy, teamwork, collaborative leadership and engage in creative solution seeking.
