Given the complexity of today’s societal problems, some economic actors have understood the importance of combining their strengths in order to craft tomorrow’s responses. Together, by pooling complementary skill sets and expertise, social entrepreneurs, the corporate world and public authorities have proven their ability to address the challenges that no individual actor could have solved on his own. Come away with inspiring testimonials and discover new opportunities.
