Can Entrepreneurs Save the World? Ashoka’s Bill Drayton and Valeria Budinich Share Their Solution for Solving the World’s Toughest Problems

On Tuesday, October 19 from 12:30-2pm EST Ashoka will be hosting a private media call with Bill Drayton (Founder & CEO of Ashoka) and Valeria Budinich (Chief Entrepreneur of Ashoka’s Full Economic Citizenship program). Bill and Valeria recently co-authored a piece in the Harvard Business Review in which they explore a central theme: our social problems need to be seen as strategic market opportunities- where profitability, scale and sustainability are achieved through collaborative entrepreneurship. In this exclusive conversation, you will be able to:
Consider tangible examples of innovative alliances between corporations and social entrepreneurs that are reshaping industries and solving social problems.
Explore your role in calling your audience’s attention to the validity and power of the citizen sector.
Ask your questions to these visionary leaders.
If you are able to participate in the media call please RSVP with me and we will follow up with dial-in instructions
