The Grameen Creative Lab (GCL) is dedicated to solving social problems by using business methods. It is a joint venture between Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Prof. Muhammad Yunus (founder of Grameen Bank) and serial entrepreneur Hans Reitz and run by a young team of top management consultants and corporate communications specialists.
In Singapore GCL has partnered with the National University of Singapore to form the NUS-GCL Initiative for Social Business. Its goals is to leverage the global resources and networks of GCL to promote and incubate innovation-based social businesses in Singapore that have the potential to generate scalable, sustainable social impacts in Emerging Markets, especially social groups at Bottom of the Pyramid.
Prof Wong Poh Kam, Director of the NUS Entrepreneurship Centre, says, “The big entrepreneurial growth opportunity over the next decade is innovating for emerging markets and applying the entrepreneurship aproach to solving problems at the bottom of the pyramid. We have been working with the Grameen Creative Lab over the last few months and are pleased to be able to bring GCL to Singapore and look forward to collaborating with them to help incubate new social businesses.”
