Our global community
The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship recognises that there are various vehicles for driving and championing social innovation: politics and government, markets, academia as well as social enterprises.
We believe social entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs are key to tackling global challenges and improving the state of the world.
