Entrepreneurship is an integral part of SKEMA Business School’s DNA. Fostering social entrepreneurship and sustainability are among the primary objectives of the school, as reflected in the Glocal Institution axis of the school’s SKY25 strategic plan. Thus, to highlight important players involved in social entrepreneurship, share the progress made in achieving sustainable development goals and the best practices for creating and developing an impact project, SKEMA Ventures is organizing the Social Ventures Summit in an online format on March 16.
