Social Entrepreneurship Initiative

Harnessing the power of entrepreneurship to drive positive societal change

Social entrepreneurship leverages the tools of imagination, creativity, and innovation to drive economic, social, and environmental value creation, and to advance positive change in our communities. We create action-oriented research, practitioner insights, and programs to fuel critical debate, guide new ventures, and inspire next-generation social impact strategies in corporations—real-world impact for our changing world.

Featured research and insights

Our research opens up a new understanding of the collaboration mechanisms, dynamics, and critical success factors in building social ventures and social impact strategies and advancing meaningful and positive societal change.
