Have a say…
Would you like to have your say on social entrepreneurship and investment?
The 2019 Social Enterprise World Forum, to be hosted in Ethiopia on October 23-25 next year could be your platform.
SEWF is the leading forum for international exchange and collaboration in social entrepreneurship and social investment and has been hosted on six continents.
However, 2019 is the first time it will be hosted in a developing country.
And, as the forum enters its second decade, hosting it in Ethiopia provides a unique opportunity to create a truly global social enterprise movement that can share experience, build networks and deliver solutions for a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.
