All around the world the social sector is approaching a tipping point. If the last century was one of economic growth, the 21st century has the prospect of coupling wealth with well-being, and bringing to the fore the people and processes by which we can sustain social resilience.
While there are many approaches to social change, social entrepreneurs are in the vanguard of this shift, innovating, growing new models, and demonstrating how others can be more effective.
The 2006 Skoll World Forum aimed to expand these efforts by helping broaden and deepen the range of financial resources creating social and environmental impacts. Key topics included, leveraging assets and growing social capital markets.
