Conclusions and recommendations of the Social Enterprise World Forum 2015

The sustainability of the private sector and of the whole social system requires companies and non-profit organizations to collaborate in a new strategic way able to deliver social and market innovation.

How could the non-profit sector maximize its impact by working along with the private sector? Vice versa, how could companies enhance their own “social impact” by working with the third sector? What kind of governance structure is needed in order to manage private-public partnerships, increasingly considered as an essential tool for sustainable development?

Presenting the outcomes and recommendations of the Social Enterprise World Forum 2015, Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus will address these important issues also in the light of his recent research on new social business models. A panel of experts will introduce his keynote speech with a preliminary roundtable on the value of sustainable development and the role of organizations for the "Post 2015” Agenda.
