social entrepreneurship

Social entrepreneurship is one of the most exciting business trends in the past several decades. By combining the efficiency of business education with the nobility of helping society, many hope that social ventures will be able to help cure ills suffered by the most vulnerable.

The importance of social entrepreneurship is gaining recognition worldwide and is increasingly popular in Hong Kong. The Impact Lab course works with social impact organisations and helps young people to start their own social impact initiatives.
