The Social Enterprise Challenge Panel Discussion is an excellent opportunity to learn about social enterprise from stalwarts in the field. The panelists will discuss the social enterprise scene in Singapore especially in light of the current financial environment. They will also share their personal experiences, discuss the top entries of the Social Enterprise Challenge and answer any questions you wish to ask them!
The Social Enterprise Challenge is a mini business plan competition where you get to find a photograph of any social problem and design a mini business plan that can provide a sustainable solution to the problem.
