In the last two financial crises, the social economy outperformed other industry sectors and generated up to 12% of jobs while also advancing key societal issues. The collective scale and impact of these purpose-driven enterprises is vast, with 2.8 million social enterprises in Europe alone.

How can policies and investments unlock the power of social entrepreneurship for an inclusive and sustainable recovery?

This session is associated with the following projects and initiatives of the World Economic Forum: Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, COVID Response Alliance for Social Entrepreneurs, Accelerating Social Justice and SDG Inclusion, and the UpLink COVID Social Justice Challenge.

The first part of this session is open to the public online; the second is only accessible via TopLink.
