About this event

Social entrepreneurs are problem solvers that find creative solutions to social, cultural, and environmental issues. By collaborating together, they are able to leverage new technologies and their changemaking skills to raise awareness and make a positive impact. The George Institute for Global Health is driving game-changing social entrepreneurship to improve health aligned to their research goals. Learn more about the work they are doing and the advice they have for students and professionals to disrupt innovation in the health and well-being industry.

Join Staph Leavenworth-Bakali as we explore the concept of social entrepreneurship and ‘profit for purpose’.
