LEARN MORE ABOUT SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR

The social entrepreneur is a visionary individual, whose main objective is to create social value, and at the same time to detect and exploit opportunities, to leverage resources necessary to his/her social mission and to find innovative solutions to social problems of his/her community that are not properly met by the local system.

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Social Entrepreneurship is the process of identifying, evaluating and exploiting opportunities aiming at social value creation by means of commercial, market-based activities and of the use of a wide range of resources.

IDEA GENERATION

Creativity is about unleashing the potential of the mind to create new ideas.

INNOVATION

Innovation is about introducing change into relatively stable systems.

About

The social entrepreneurship virtual innovation challenge is developed by the Research Synergy Foundation (RSF), Prokompas, UCB Education Program in Indonesia and Macquarie University PACE students in Australia. Together we invite students from various academic institutions to present their ideas to wicked problems (e.g., access to clean drinking water, equality, marine life, deforestation).
